The Jamie Lloyd Company has hit back after its production of Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet” has been the subject of what they call a “barrage of deplorable racial abuse” aimed at an unnamed cast member.
The play, directed by Jamie Lloyd (“Sunset Boulevard”), stars “Spider-Man: No Way Home” star Tom Holland as Romeo and Francesca Amewaduh-Rivers (“Sex Education”) as Juliet.
On Friday, the Jamie Lloyd Company issued a statement, saying: “Following the announcement of our ‘Romeo & Juliet’ cast, there has been a barrage of deplorable racial abuse online directed towards a member of our company. This must stop.”
So all the characters, including the fictional creatures, should be Danish? And speak Danish. And… Well, you get the idea.
Never said that. It jus tmakes no sense to call the new movie a remake if you change stuff around
Change what around? It was originally a book.
The new remake of their cartoon The Little Mermaid. I know it was originaly a book and the mermaid dies at the end.
If it was remade, it would have been a cartoon.
