Young Scottish actress Mandipa Kabana has been cast to play Joan of Arc in a 2026 Scottish theatrical production that explores the “power of youth-led change”. 'Classic tale of war, duplicity, power and wealth gets a fresh new treatment' writes The Herald about the upcoming theatre adaption of Joan of Arc. Stewart Laing, the theatre director who cast Mandipa, had compared the French Patron Saint to Greta Thunberg: "Look at someone like Greta Thunberg. There are young people with loud voices protesting against those in power."

We wuz Joanz n sheeeeit.
I have one last big trip planned this summer to visit the last of the clan in Scotland before they all pass away. It is depressing to think how the UK government shat on all things white, Christian, and Celtic. And as a total disgrace they installed that paki racist s bag muslim Hamzi Yousef who was allowed to crap on Scotland claiming the problem with Scotland is Scotland has white Christians and needs to be conquered by foreign Muslims turds.
Nothing good came from Africa. Nothing. It drives libs and Afrocentrists insane and they have to invent things that never happened to feel good about themselves.
“I want an all-white version of Cooley High”
In which the plot centers on a fight between members of the chess club over a “je’aroube”’call.
Both sides in the 100 years war were Catholic. There were Catholic bishops on both sides.
Another woke pile of s^^t that I will not be watching.
The UK is lost. No-one there seems to have any balls.
I mention this, not to argue, but to point out the best Othello I’ve seen was Laurence Fishburne opposite Kenneth Branagh as Iago.
yes, unfortunately, I think all of the real men died during the endless wars The people that are left are the descendants of those people who couldn’t pass the test to get into the military
Think the musical / movie “Hamilton”
Cultural appropriation at its finest
They missed a good opportunity make Joan a trans muzzy also. Why not go for the entire pile of s***?
This was just a casting decision. Don’t give them any more ideas for the actual script
Sure. Like all the White men who have played Othello?
I think this is a little different.
Race swapping in a work of fiction is very different from doing it with a historical figure.
Othello wasn’t ‘race swapped’; the character remained a Black man, just played by White ones in makeup.
In this instance, it seems they’re actually portraying St. Joan as Black.
There was a mouse in my horse stable. I tried to put a saddle on him. It didn’t work.
If the woke version is the burnt Joan looking back at her life ...maybe
I don’t understand having a problem with actors/actresses playing parts considered outside their own race. If a black actress can convince the audience she is Joan of Arc, well, give her a standing ovation.
But no more having a fit when John Wayne plays Genghis Khan, old Jewish guys ride up in war-bonnets as Indian chiefs, Olivier as Othello chokes Desdemona, etc., except when they do a crappy job.
I’d watch that version of Rosa.
