remember that one time sir patrick stewart really wanted to play othello because othello is gr9

and so his solution was to do a racially flipped cast of othello and he hired all black actors for the rest of the story so he wasn’t being mr. all the time white dudes while at the same time providing opportunities not often available in theater for black actors to fill the stage, incl. an interracial relationship w. a black woman who was presented as desirable

without changing the original text and having “an increased emphasis on abuse against women”

…this was in 1997

just throwin’ that out there

*sips grape drink*

friendly reminder that this is the awesome dude that jackass benny crumbles thinks has a shitty, worthless career.
