Been playing with an idea for 'dead butcher and fiend-like queen' the simile vs. the metaphor. I'm looking at what Shakespeare is saying about M and LM. Any interesting ideas? Elaine Gaurav Dubay

To discover more about Juliet's ever-evolving story, and performances by actors of colour, check out Searching For Juliet (by me!); The Great White Bard by Farah Karim-Cooper and British Black and Asian Shakespeareans by Dr. Jami Rogers 🇺🇦.

Francesca Amewudah-Rivers is London's next new Juliet: the latest in a long tradition of making Juliet not for an age, but for all time.
Juliet is, like her love, 'as boundless as the sea'.

Nearly 300 years ago, the first Black performer to play Juliet was Rachael Baptiste, an Irishwoman also hugely successful as a singer.
She performed in Lancashire in the mid-1700s.

But Amewudah-Rivers's Juliet joins a long tradition of diverse, evolving interpretations of Shakespeare's tragic heroine. There is no one Juliet. There never has been.

'There is not one Juliet. There never has been'

Dr Sophie Duncan (Dr Sophie Duncan) author of Searching For Juliet, gives us the history of Juliet.
