LONDON, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Scottish film star Ewan McGregor and British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor are now starring in the Donmar Warehouse's London production of Shakespeare's "Othello."

McGregor is best-known for his roles in "Moulin Rouge" and the first three "Star Wars" episodes, while Ejiofor has appeared in "American Gangster," "Talk to Me," "Inside Man," "Dirty Pretty Things" and "Love Actually."

The actors play the roles of Iago and Othello respectively in the new London stage production.

Kelly Reilly portrays the doomed Desdemona.

Garnering generally good reviews, the play has become one of the hottest shows in London with tickets reportedly being sold for many times their original price, the BBC said.
