Jamie Lloyd, director of the Tom Holland-led West End revival of Romeo & Juliet, released a statement on Friday condemning an incident of “deplorable racial abuse” against an unnamed cast member.

“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,” Lloyd’s theater company wrote on social media. “This must stop. We are working with a remarkable group of artists. We insist that they are free to create work without facing online harassment.”
