Previously, a new version of London's West End stage play "Romeo and Juliet" starring "Dutch Brother" Tom Hollander caused huge heated discussions on the Internet. The focus of the controversy was the character in this stage play. 'Juliet' is cast by black women. This made many viewers who love Shakespeare's classic work quite dissatisfied with this casting.
Although the showrunners of the stage play immediately issued a statement to express their support for the actors of "Juliet" and angrily urged everyone to stop racial discrimination, of course this did not calm the audience's dissatisfaction with the casting of the role. At the same time, "Holland's brother" Tom Holland was not immune. The reason why Tom Holland was criticized was that he did not stand up to speak out for the "Juliet" actor at the first time.
Although there is a lot of controversy, it does not affect the performance of the play. The play was originally scheduled to be previewed on May 11, but was postponed to May 13 due to technical reasons. The play also successfully completed its preview last night. The next stage play will officially open in London's West End on May 23, and the play will be limited to 12 weeks.
As for the problem that everyone is worried about when Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time, based on the leaked preview photos of the play, it is not a big problem. As long as there is enough lighting, Romeo can definitely find Juliet.
Although there is a lot of controversy, criticism cannot prevent this new version of the stage play "Romeo and Juliet" brought by Tom Holland and black actress Francesca Ameuda-Rivers from being staged as scheduled. If there must be, it can only be due to technical reasons, just like this delayed preview.
