Corrections concerning his role as Iago in Welles' Othello

I changed Welles' intended interpretation of Iago from homosexual to impotent (don't know how p.c. this is, but MacLiammoir quotes Welles as telling him to play Iago as an "Impotent, that's why he hates life so much.") Both of them would remember that Laurence Olivier tried the homosexual interpretation in 1937 and it did not work, with the audience not understanding what was going on. Concerning Iago's age, Iago says in the play "I have looked upon the world for four times seven years" (1.3.312f). While MacLiammoir arguably does not look older than his age of 50, he is certainly older than Welles' Othello, while it usually is the other way round.
