Over 800 actors, a majority of whom are Black, female and non-binary, signed an open letter supporting Francesca Amewudah-Rivers after she was the target of online racism following her casting in a new production of Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet.”
Among the signatories are Susan Wokoma, Freema Agyeman, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Lolly Adefope, Chinenye Ezeudu, Lashana Lynch and Sophie Wilde, to name a few.
“Many of us took to social media to shower our baby sis with love and congratulations — a huge deal for someone so young in their career. A huge rising talent,” the letter reads.
