In reply to Sean Lawrence's question about whether being called "Il Moro"
means that one is a "Moor," I can only report the common usage in Cuban
Spanish, which applies the term "moro" to anyone of "European" descent
with particularly dark skin.  I can only conjecture that the same is
true in Italian.
 
Good luck trying to figure it out!

I understand Cary Mazer's point, but I like to say that every production is an
"interpretation" of one of Shakespeare's script. What Philip Brockbank was
writing about in 1976 was scripts and subsequently performances. I think that
there is a difference between "interpreting" Shakespeare's script and
performing an adapted script or a freely translated script. Compare MACBETH
and, say, MCBIRD. (I hope that's the right spelling.)
 
Sincerely, Bill Godshalk
