But I don't fully buy it because I still take the view that an actor or actress should be able to ply their craft in any role.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027942517258679266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-8812639236882703112011-03-29T08:39:10.394+01:002011-03-29T08:39:10.394+01:00Haven't both Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Dom...Haven't both Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo both played Othello in black face? <br /><br />I think the difference is that Othello is is considered a serious work of classical art, as opposed to a far less serious parody. <br /><br />As long as the work is serious, and the actor puts in a serious effort, I have no objection. When Vanessa Redgrave portrayed Dr. Renee Richards, initially I was non-plussed. I would have preferred a natal male to play the roll, but when I saw the passion she brought to the role, I thought she did an admirable job of portraying a male to female transsexual.<br /><br />Melissa XXMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-80962456586728580912011-03-27T19:15:24.023+01:002011-03-27T19:15:24.023+01:00rape tyke, hardly surprising that this is the sort...rape tyke, hardly surprising that this is the sort of anagram of the creepy name!<br /><br />What is more worrying is the deep rooted acceptance in the media of such an obnoxious idea in the first place.

If you look at any comedian they do the same but most do it with respect. Peter Kay lacks respect for others. Having a white actor playing the role of Othello in an otherwise all black cast would seem very appropriate don't you think? In such circumstances no-one is taking the mickey.<br /><br />Shirley Anne xxxShirley Annehttp://www.minkyweasel.comnoreply@blogger.com
