Theater,Company,Racial Abuse

The Jamie Lloyd Company, the theater company behind the 'Romeo & Juliet' production in London's West End, has spoken out against the racial abuse directed towards one of its cast members. The company insists that artists should be able to work without facing online harassment.

The theater company bringing"Romeo & Juliet" to London's West End is decrying the"barrage of deplorable racial abuse" one of its stars has experienced since the cast was announced.

Less than two weeks ago, the actress was announced as the production's Juliet, starring opposite Tom Holland as Romeo. Her comments section and that of the"Romeo & Juliet" Instagram page soon became full of vicious, racist remarks, and the option to respond has since been turned off on many posts.

"Bullying and harassment have no place online, in our industry or in our wider communities," the company said in its statement."Our rehearsal room is full of joy, compassion and kindness. We celebrate the extraordinary talent of our incredible collaborators."
