How many times was Othello performed during Shakespeare's lifetime?
We do not have complete records of performances of Elizabethan and Jacobean plays, so we cannot answer this. If we are lucky, we have records of one or two performances of a play (as we do for Othello, which has a remarkable four recorded performances in three different venues once in 1604, twice in 1610 and once in 1612), but we know that for each recorded performance there were many others which were not recorded. Actors of Shakespeare's time did not perform a certain play in a "run", but constantly varied the play, so a popular play might be played once and then not again for a couple of weeks.
How many times do Shakespeare's actors commit suicide?
Quite often. Committing suicide onstage are Romeo, Juliet, Brutus, Cassius, Antony, Cleopatra, Titinius, Charmian, and Othello. Offstage suicides include Goneril, Timon, probably Ophelia and Lady Macbeth.
Why would Shakespeare choose a black man to be a protagonist in his play Othello?
Shakespeare didn't choose Othello to be black. That was part of a story by an Italian called Cinthio where Shakespeare got the idea for the play. Cinthio's story was in fact focussed on this aspect of Othello's relationship with Desdemona (as indeed many modern productions of Shakespeare's play do) and explicitly had Desdemona state the trite and racist moral that white women shouldn't get involved with black men. Shakespeare, of course, in adapting the story, goes much deeper into the psychology of jealousy and the problems of any kind of mixed marriage by having Othello and Desdemona be of different ages and social classes as well as races. Cinthio's Moor is not a very nice man, but Shakespeare paints Othello in a very sympathetic light, so we feel his pain as his jealousy and his genuine love battle it out in him.

What is the secret behind Othello?
There is no secret behind Othello the character. He is transparently who he is, a humble soldier of great honour and ability. It is his humility which lets Iago persuade him that Desdemona must prefer a more nobly-born, younger and handsomer man than he is.There is no secret behind Othello the play. The story, as many of Shakespeare's stories were, was taken from an Italian source. It was part of the repertoire of the King's Men; there is evidence of its performance.
What are the virtues that are been portrayed by shakespeare through Othello?
Othello has many virtues: he is calm, masterful, a great leader and commander, patient and humble. It's actually his virtue of humility which causes him problems, since it allows him to believe Iago when he says that a girl like Desdemona could never love a guy like him.
