There’s none but I’m glad you’ve seen that posted and were able to copy it. At least you feel better and that’s all that matters. To you anyway

The Marxist are out in full force tonight. The pro Palestine protest must’ve ended early

So why the outrage today
The word “outrage” has really lost all meaning if you think this little thread on this little chat board carries any weight in the world.

I think the "outrage" is that Juliet is being played by an woman that is reasonably considered incredibly ugly.
From OP’s picture I honestly thought it was a tranny

Are you sure it isn't?

Wow. That chick is not attractive. She seriously looks like a man.

Still do. She's not MJ.
Easily the worst part of the new Spiderman movies.

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

This. Definitely not worth Romeo killing himself over.

They cast it like every single tv commercial.

How is this a story change while having a man play the role is "who cares"?
Because the story wasn’t that Juliet was a man. I didn’t explain because it was self explanatory. The story was about two young lovers. Why not have Romeo be a 45 yr old guy & Juliet a 12 yr old girl? In a burka.
Because that’s not what Shakespeare wrote.
This is an unnecessary choice but I’m sure all the correct people will approve.

And this story has been changed a dozen times - West Side Story, etc. - as have most of Shakespeare's works.
The story has been retold, not 'changed'. There's a difference.

Second, there were Moors in Italy at the time so, okay, no big deal...but that was Southern Italy.
Moors weren't sub-Saharan African. The ones in Italy were Berbers, Phoenicians, or descendants of immigrants from Levant and Iraq. The name Moor even referred to European Muslims.

I’m unsure why anyone in this board cares about the casting decisions for a theater production in London.

That’s the best thing about this thread, there are thousands of play adaptations of Romeo and Juliet but this board melts down over some random play across the ocean because black people

Where are you coming up with this shite? Nowhere is it indicated that Juliet is going to be a man or is played by one.

Don’t project your weird fantasies onto others now

Follow along with the thread. Regarding the onstage version of Shakespeare’s story as portrayed by 1600’s era actors.

I’m doing nothing of the sort. It’s Entertainment Inc. that is projecting their fantasies of a sub-Saharan African girl as Juliet with a lily-white Romeo.
