Well the Anglo Zulu war is something I own a couple of books about and the battle of Isandlwana a particular fascination...but never mind.

As for 'evil empire'....Well....that war was locally created and started without the permission of the British state....But hell I'm observing what the left and that post modernistic thinking have done for this country and quite frankly I'd have that time back over what your lot have done.

Actually the film was a passion of Stanley Baker, because of the Welsh connection, and he was the producer. Apparently it is fairly close to the true story the main bone of contention the for the Zulus was at the end when they saluted the British, which they claim never happened.

In terms of the roles available in the Shakespeare canon, there are something like 1200 speaking characters.

I think three of those are explicitly identified as being African (Moorish or Moroccan) - and Othello is the only lead role.

So if you really think that, say, Adrian Lester shouldn't play Hamlet, or Don Warrington King Lear, then what you really mean is that you want to effectively exclude black actors from Shakespearean productions...

Black people as a percentage of the population are what....about five percent. But personally I don't think that really matters.

Essentially black people in Shakespeare should be down to the producers of the play. These are private productions....If they want to fill the roles with all blacks, asians or whites I really couldn't give a coco.

People pay their ticket and they make their choice.

A consideration of the audience makes sense to me.....for example if you are producing a Shakespeare play in a highly populated black area then it would make sense to have a high number of black actors.

As long as these decisions are freely made by producers then that's fine.....they stand and fall by the decisions they make.
