Reason | An actor noted for his Shakespearian roles, in a Shakespearian role. Ira Aldridge really is a fascinating person, by the way - long before race-blind casting was even a phrase, he, as an African-American actor in the early 1800s, managed to overcome prejudice to become one of the leading Shakespearian performers of his day, doing not just Othello and Aaron, but Hamlet, Romeo, Richard III, and many other leading roles. Have a read of Ira Aldridge sometime. -- Adam Cuerden (talk) |
