From The New York Times:
“Who Was Shakespeare’s Muse? A Black Woman, This Play Imagines”
“Emilia,” at Shakespeare’s Globe, features three black actresses in the role of the “Dark Lady” who inspired some of the Bard’s sonnets.
Oh, yeah? Well, in my upcoming Broadway musical, Shakespeare themself will be a black woman.
See you losers at the Tonys!
In “Emilia,” a new play running through Sept. 1 at Shakespeare’s Globe in London, the British playwright Morgan Lloyd Malcolm centers on Emilia Bassano, one of the first professional female writers in Shakespearean England. The play imagines her as Shakespeare’s lover and muse — and as an even better writer. But Shakespeare goes from triumph to triumph, while Emilia faces the realities of being a woman in 17th-century Britain, and struggling to publish.
The play is a meditation and a provocation, staged with an all-female cast…
See, Shakespeare was just some basic bitch Becky, so of course the strong black woman was a better writer than the white woman, but the white woman Shakespeare gets all the glory.
… “Emilia might have been of color, might have had a mixed heritage. There is just no evidence of that, because people had no interest in recording it.”
White people were so racist back then that they weren’t racist.
