Deadline confirmed that Francesca would play Juliet in the adaptation, which opens on May 23 at the Duke of York's Theatre.

Interesting they are going to have The White Monteque and the Black Capulets as mortal enemies. That’s the message that will make this fresh right?

The only problem I have with this is that the actress is fugly. Should have cast Holland's real life girlfriend instead.

First, this actress is 23 years old.
Juliet is not even 14-years old in the play.
Second, there were Moors in Italy at the time so, okay, no big deal...but that was Southern Italy.

Romeo extols Juliet's beauty by likening her to a fire's light, suggesting her beauty holds significant power. He compares her to a star, indicating her beauty is rare and otherworldly. He also describes her as a dove among crows.

Well, it's about time those unsung millions of Renaissance-era black Italians finally get their due representation. How they have been so completely erased from history after their multitude of important scientific and artistic contributions is a travesty.

It’s theater. Aaron Burr wasn’t black either.

They cast it like every single tv commercial.

Shakespeare compares Juliet to a star, indicating her beauty is rare and otherworldly. He also describes her as a dove among crows.
Sorry but casting matters...
When you completely ignore the source material.
