Shakespeare is a very good place for colorblind casting. All the women were played by men in some of the early productions. Stop crying so much OP.

>>11079749
yeah, but raul julia isn't

Don Warrington was the greatest Lear by far lmao

>>11079752
KAAAAANGZ

>>11079754
Haha wasnt he in an MST3K movie?

>>11079763
There are and were historically African kings this is not disputable.

>this thread
meanwhile I get called a racist for asking if nigs still use the 100 emoji.

>>11079788
You are using a racist epithet. Racism is not allowed on blue boards.

>>11079826
Nig means non-intelligent guy

>>11079826
nigger.

I saw Frank Langella play Lear, who I'm fairly sure isn't Italian. He was great. As long as it's not historical figures or figures for whom whiteness is a defining aspect, I don't care about colorblind casting.

lol nigger it stopped being funny this morning after the second post, fuck off, we use the rules to keep spam and pedophiles (and retarded weebs or /b/tards) from ruining discourse, there are basically no rules besides posting on topic

>>11079954
Lear was a Trojan, as were the Romans, so having Lear played by an Italian makes perfect sense

>>11079970
>Leir was a legendary king of the Britons whose story was recounted by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his pseudohistorical 12th-century History of the Kings of Britain.[1] According to Geoffrey's genealogy of the British dynasty, Leir's reign would have occurred around the 8th century BC, around the time of the founding of Rome. The story was modified and retold by William Shakespeare in his Jacobean tragedy King Lear.

>>11079964
No sorry there are rules.

>>11079993
Racists BTFO

>>11079981
According to Geoffrey of Monmouth he was a descendant of Brutus of Troy

we wuz kings is funny because a major current in european white nationalism is 'we were PEASANTS and we were SO HONOURED to serve our TRADITIONAL LEADERS'

>>11079954
Certainly not in plays. The audience should not be immersed in live theater. They should be engaged and willingly suspending their disbelief while simultaneously aware that the people in front of them are merely actors and that all parties involved have a certain amount of distance from the truth of the story.

Screaming 'our opponents are the opponents of mankind, their point of view is not just: their point of view is injustice' at the girl who asks me to stop ripping big syrupy vape clouds at the community theatre Shakespeare production

/pol/, /b/ and /r9k/ are the normie boards i suggest you go to them

>>11080187
I didn't get b&... yet. I was bitching about be called a racist for saying nigger, even though what I said wasn't very racist, and because the op of that thread used the phrase "white devil". these are all meaningless shitposts anyway, everyone should just calm down.

>>11080248
Saying the n word is in itself racist. Fuck off.

>>11080252
>mfw there's no fun allowed.

>>11080234
Which would Brecht approve more of? The cold and cerebral viewing experience of the white man or the fully immersed whooping of the black?

>>11080288
Nice numbers but racism isnt fun!

>>11080312
Racism is the original form societal self preservation. You are denying the natural order.

>>11080329
>muh natural order
Do you want to know how i know you are a tourist?

>>11080241
Just because they're the prevalent board cultures on this site doesn't mean they're the normie ones. It's arguable the smaller ones are more normie as they don't align with the majority of the site

>>11079788
>>11080187
Never forget.

>>11080329
natural order can't be denied by definition
all that is, is
