| Engrossing piece by Mr. Callow. He writes a good review. I wonder though whether either of the books mentioned Ira Aldridge and the fact that Britain has a long relationship with African-American actors, particularly ones playing Othello. Many feel that Aldridge had a similarly politicized stage presence during the Abolitionist era. |
