“The person who changed the way we did Shakespeare in our country was Ira Aldridge, and he did that in the 1800s! He was a superb Black American actor who escaped slavery and came to England. So, the work just keeps rolling forward.”

Golda Rosheuvel
Actress known for her role as Queen Charlotte in Bridgerton
“There’s always space to just push those boundaries, and push those doors more open and let others in and follow you. I’m very proud of what Bridgerton stands for, what it says, and that we’re involved in paving the way for others to come behind us, for young people to see what we’re doing the show and think that their dreams can come true.”
