Got called a colonial at the national theatre lads. It was at the national theatre? Yeah it was at the national theatre

#in context it was a very cute old British man who was so excited to recommend theatre to me so I’m not offended at all #but the absolute shock of someone saying ‘oh you’re a colonial!!’

I've been thinkin the last few days about how Stede was fully committed to just giving Jim the petrified orange and not saying anything about how much he wanted it, because it is their land and they absolutely have the right to it.

Like, yes it's one of those delightfully obtuse Stede moments. He's unrepetantly silly and petty and selfish, not wanting to give away the cool thing he found at the end of the fake treasure hunt that he embarked on to try and impress his crush, even though it's potentially Jim's only physical connection to their dead family and stolen land.

(same, mate)

But it's only after Jim throws back the orange that Stede gets excited again and admits that selfish desire. He was prepared to do the right thing, and yeah, he'd probably have moaned about it later, because he wanted the Cool Thing, just... not in front of Jim.

I don't wanna go so far as to say it's, like, ~radical anti-colonialism~ or anything, but it does feel like it fits with the broader anti-colonial attitude of the show, and the theme of Stede recognising his privilege and unlearning his entitlement. This is Jimenez land; it's already been stolen once. (Twice, really; the Jimenez family can only have it by virtue of Spanish invasion.) Now Jim's family is dead and their home in ruins, and the petrified orange is potentially the only thing left of that, a preserved memento from their tree. So Stede gives it back.

And there's something niavely, revealingly honest in Stede's response when Jim offers it back. He could've kept up the solemn act and thanked Jim for their gracious, selfless generosity in giving him the orange, but he doesn't. He just grins.

"Oh, thank God. I didn't want to give it to you!"

"Thank God!" It kind of speaks more to his good heart than solemn thanks would, even if it's a bit blunt and obnoxious. He wanted it that much, he is that excited to get it, that he just lights up and brushes off the moment. Even so, he gave it to Jim in the first place and let them make the decision. He selfishly wanted to keep the Cool Thing (honestly, valid, we've all been there)... but he wasn't gonna be a dick about it.

The Book of Mormon musical:

. Portrays black people as stupid, uneducated, dirty, unhygienic, violent, baby-raping, primitive, savages, who thing raping babies is a magical cure for AIDS and have maggots in their scrotums and have never heard of Disney or texting even though white western missionaries visit their town EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. YEAR.

. Makes fun of African accents.

. Portrays white supremacist colonialists and imperialists as harmless, innocent, charming, lovable, naïve, well-meaning, nice, goofballs, with individuality and complex personalities and character arcs. (And significantly more lines and stage time).

. Is directed and produced by an almost entirely white crew who did not hire a single African consultant.

. Doesn’t properly subvert the white savior narrative and instead just plays the traditional trope vaguely “ironically”

. Only includes cis-het, abled, white men in all advertisements so you don’t know it’s about Africans until you’ve already bought your ticket. Instead the ads just have a picture of a random doorknob???

Eclipsed: play by Danai Gurira

. Is a powerful play about the Liberian civil war told from the perspective of Liberian women (writtten by Danai Gurira of The Walking Dead and Black Panther). Starring Lupita Nyong’o from Black Panther, The Woman King, 12 years ago slave, and US; it’s historically and culturally accurate and has a message about the ethics of different strategies of activism.

Edward Woodward guest stars as Jack Liskard, Prime Minister of an unspecified African country and the target of multiple assassination attempts, in The Saint: The Persistent Patriots (5.15, ITC, 1967)

#fave spotting #edward woodward #callan #the saint #the persistent patriots #1967 #david callan #classic tv #eddy is the named guest star for this episode but actually he wasn't really the household name he would become at this point #in fact this ep was the first Saint episode to air in the uk in 1967 on January 6th‚ setting off a banner year for Woodward that would #be the making of his career. he'd done a few guest spots (Sergeant Cork and Mogul among them) and yes he'd had some stage success #but 67 was his year; around the same time as this Saint appearance he could be seen on the BBC's celebrated drama strand Theatre 625 as the #lead in a multi episode adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Sword of Honour‚ and almost exactly a month later he'd be making his first screen #appearance as Callan in the Armchair Theatre pilot A Magnum for Schneider‚ the beginning of tv immortality and bigger and better things for #the actor. here he's... well he's serious and he's sullen (two of Ed's strengths as an actor) in a role which.. is FINE on the surface but #absolutely begs some deeper questions. he's the prime minister of an unnamed African country‚ in London to negotiate the independence of #said country from the UK. it's.. a complicated issue (which this single Saint episode absolutely fails to address but I'd have been truly #astonished if it had). i mean yes we're all anti colonialism here of course (even if Simon does seem suspiciously morose about the prospect #of losing another colony in his opening voice over‚ he at least appears to be on Eddy's side through the episode) but there's a kind of #deafening silence throughout this ep: Ed is of course white. his various ministers and other government officials who oppose him are all #also white. the titular 'patriots' who oppose him and make attempts on his life and to prevent the process of independence are all white #the most obvious comparison to be drawn (and presumably the main inspiration for the character) is Rhodesian prime minister Ian Smith #who had led the white minority government of what is now Zimbabwe from 1964 and had been involved in similar negotiations with the british #government (that fell apart in late 65 as Smith's government announced Rhodesia's unilateral independence; the country then became an #unrecognised state subject to economic sanctions that lasted more than a decade). the thing is‚ Smith was a racist piece of shit; the whole #reason those negotiations broke down was because of his refusal to secure black representation in Rhodesia's governance #which makes the complete absence of any black characters in this episode a major red flag. but Ed's character isn't presented as the #villain of the piece; the episode is adamant that the work he's doing is selfless and for the betterment of his country‚ and it isn't as if #Smith was a particularly popular figure in the uk at this point for the ep makers to be painting a positive portrait of him. idk #it's messy. at best tone deaf and at worst.. well. i wish Ed had had a better ep to guest star in that's all im saying
