Veteran British Actor Gets In Hot Water For Saying “Theatre Is A White Invention”

Janet Suzman, frustrated at the lack of black faces in the audience at a South African play she recently did in London, said, “I rail against that and say why don’t black people come to see a play about one of the most powerful African states?
