The Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's production of Othello is quite good. There are a couple more performances and I recommend seeing it if you have time.
According to the Memoirs of Lady Hyegyeong, King Yeongjo of Joseon had certain superstitions: He avoided using words relating to death or dying. After conducting official business, he never entered his own residence or the residences of his favored children until he had changed his clothes. If he heard or discussed something inauspicious, he wouldn't go back to his room until he had brushed his teeth, washed his ears, and summoned someone to say at least one word to him.
