I genuinely didn’t believe this was real but: https://metro.co.uk/2022/10/31/london-theatre-slammed-for-romeo-and-juliet-with-nazi-and-jewish-girl-17670883/
Who greenlit this idea in the first place?! 😭
Also I love how a lot of the coverage was initially about their failure to cast for a Jewish actor for the role of Juliet and not for making this holocaust Romeo and Juliet in the first place 🤣 we live in the wackiest timeline.
This sounds like some lib with a hero complex wanting to imagine themselves as being “one of the good Nazis” who thinks they fall in love with some concentration camp victim with Stockholm syndrome. When I reality they just have a slave fetish and find docile, helpless, essentially slave, women they can easily manipulate to be the most attractive.
It almost feels like someone’s so doped up on their own perceived worldliness they can “understand” any issue.
You know the sort of people who think they get how there is “two sides” to every situation when really it’s way more nuanced than their shit lib (fascist enabling) take can process.
