When I moved to London ten years ago, I experienced colour-blind casting for the first time. After a while, I didn’t even notice any more, and Trevor Nunn’s all-white production seemed somewhat strange to me because I was now used to seeing a more diverse cast performing Shakespeare’s plays. When I returned to Munich this year, I found that little had changed in Germany. Even though the population had become more diverse the German theatre was still white.
