black actors are the scene of the British period. After all, we have been around for much longer than 1948

I have not read Wuthering Heights and for some reason, perhaps, the terrible sadness in his story, I tried to avoid too many filmed versions. But Andrea Arnold from the story of Emily Brontë intrigued me. Throw a black Heathcliff seems to have split critics down the middle:. Some say it's an accurate reading and justified in the history of the "dark outsider ', others describe it as some modern sense, multicultural

In fact, one critic wrote that, far from the description of the actor Arnold James Howson as "a young Jimi Hendrix," found it more like "a young Rio Ferdinand." A British director decided to cast the best actor I can find regardless of color, and the critic chooses to make fun of your choice by comparing the artist to a footballer with the same skin color. Boring, predictable and sad .

However, this inadvertently throws light on an old phenomenon: the usual color blindness that our film and television industry is suffering at a time. I mean the color blindness in the negative sense to ignore the black face in the line-up of traditional roles.

hope most actors have to admit that a little healthy jealousy or envy, if you see other players in an excellent work on television or the theater. But the green-eyed monster is powered when you are a black player and see all the costume dramas of this country is so dominant in the production, and realize that neither you nor any of his contemporaries were black on the list of characters exalted. Why I can not see the pieces of Emma, ??Great Expectations, or Downton Abbey? Is it because I'm not "the kind of player"? Or just the wrong color of an actor

With some recent exceptions (Servants of the BBC and the small island states, and Wuthering Heights Arnold), it seems that we installed in the non-inclusion of black face in our time as a drama of standard. "Okay," you say. "There were not many blacks in Britain before 1948, however, was there?"


These examples are just the most colorful images of a hidden history. The presence of black in our history sometimes deliberately, sometimes careless Britain, was shut out of our national history. It is not only deeply offensive and infuriating, but absurd in the extreme. Who wants to know that half of the history of their nation; wWho just that half of the truth of the journey of his country of pre-Christian warriors to world leaders sophisticated diplomacy, trade, fashion, music and the arts? And black is the presence of all these achievements, sometimes negatively if we think of slavery, and sometimes positively, if we consider figures as Olaudah Equiano and Ignatius Sancho

I finally wrote my game the last man, for his story of slaves born in the actor and friend of David Garrick, making the road a man of music, grocers, composer, playwright and the first black to vote struck me as the perfect antidote to the idea that "only blacks arrived in the 1940s." Not only is it essential that we as British people to tell our story, it is vital that we tell the whole story. Otherwise, we run the risk of increasing feelings of alienation and temporality in this direction to our youth with such violence.
Drama that give us insight not only into what it was, but it could be, and when we say that all black people have been or could ever be for us are the "problems" or "problems" and slogans such as "knife / gun crime", we take our wealth and reduce the width and beautiful to look stunted and narrow world of the picture ..
