The Jamie Lloyd Company has hit back after its production of Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet” has been the subject of what they call a “barrage of deplorable racial abuse” aimed at an unnamed cast member.

 The play, directed by Jamie Lloyd (“Sunset Boulevard”), stars “Spider-Man: No Way Home” star Tom Holland as Romeo and Francesca Amewaduh-Rivers (“Sex Education”) as Juliet.

 该剧由杰米·劳埃德（《日落大道》）执导，《蜘蛛侠：英雄无归》的主演汤姆·霍兰德饰演罗密欧，弗朗西斯卡·阿梅瓦杜赫·里弗斯（《性教育》）饰演朱丽叶。

 On Friday, the Jamie Lloyd Company issued a statement, saying: “Following the announcement of our ‘Romeo & Juliet’ cast, there has been a barrage of deplorable racial abuse online directed towards a member of our company. This must stop.”

 周五，Jamie Lloyd剧团发表声明称“在我们宣布《罗密欧与朱丽叶》的演员阵容之后，网上出现了大量针对我们剧团一名成员的种族歧视网暴言论。这种行为必须停止。”
