The Invisible Wall of Opportunity: Tanya Moodie on Acting

Описание: Tanya Moodie describes relating to her character in Trouble in Mind, a 1950s Broadway actress, Wiletta. https://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/sh...

"There was always this invisible wall in terms of opportunity," she says. And in the same way for Wiletta, "There's a glass ceiling in terms of how far she's expected to go because of her ethnicity."

Trouble in Mind is in the Dorfman theatre in London from 2 Dec 2021 to 29 Jan 2022.

In 1950s America, protests for racial equality erupt in the face of voter suppression.

On Broadway, Wiletta Mayer, a talented black actress, begins rehearsals for a new play about racism – written and directed by two white men.

When Wiletta finds that her arguments to tell the truth of the story are dismissed, she decides to take action.
