I remember a production of ‘How Green Was My Valley”, a story about a Welch coal mining community, that featured Cicely Tyson in the lead female part. Too stupid to imagine. That lasted only a short time.

Then there's the Carousel revival on Broadway with a black Billy Bigelow. Early 20th Century Maine is NOT where you would see this romance happen.

They already did “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.”

Maine repealed it's Anti-miscegenation laws in 1821, so you would see it happen.
