In today’s piece for all, actor Al Nedjari writes about becoming the complicated, exoticised figure of Omar Sharif in Hannah Khalil’s new play Love Omar, and his reflections on his career navigating stereotypes and bigotry alongside his evolving relationship to his own racial identity.

exeuntmagazine.substack.com

'Like Omar Sharif, I was sent underwear in the mail'

His first role was on Coronation Street – but Al Nedjari hated playing an 'exotic Arab toyboy'. Yet after a career of resisting typecasting, he's happy to play a heart-throb again

Here's a fact for you all. Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK. Not ONE. This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit. But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

Edward II @TheRSC Stratford-upon-Avon - pacy, brutal & genuinely thrilling, with a terrific cast. A cliché to call it a play for our times, but as one incompetent, self-absorbed autocrat gives way to a ruthless one, it certainly makes the case for parliamentary democracy. www.rsc.org.uk/edward-ii/
