Sanditon’s Rose Williams: 'It’s not relevant to have an all-white cast in a period drama!'

There is a direct correlation between us in that we are both more interested in work than romance and prioritising that.

It’s full of juxtapositions. For instance, all women in this period wore corsets. They make you stand differently and take you to a different place. But they are so uncomfortable and so constricting and the clothes over the top are very flowy. You wouldn’t know looking at the flowy, Grecian inspired dresses at the time that the level of constraint was there. There’s this contrast of constriction and freedom which echoes our time today.

My first proper job was at clothes shop in Dover Street Market when I was 17 years old. When I paid my first bills in my own flat at 18 years old was a big moment for me. But I was also eating pound shop food and super noodles. I also remember eating frozen jacket potatoes you would heat in the microwave. I had a terrible diet because I didn’t have much money, but I had a real satisfaction by paying my bills with my own money.

Charlotte is completely displaced from her surroundings and where she grew up. Can you remember a time you felt displaced and how you overcame it? I still feel like that to this day with different jobs. I just deal with it in different ways. I love to travel, and I love the challenges, I can’t see myself doing anything in one fixed place. The first time I felt it was when I was doing a show calledwhich was shot in Toronto. I got the job and it was for three episodes with the intention of doing more. In my head I was there for one month. But they decided to keep me on as a regular character.

rose_williams_ No, it *is* historically accurate and it *is* relevant to have an all White cast in period dramas set in European countries/history/culture. I suggest she opens a history book. Bookstores and libraries have them. Let's not be hypocrites when it comes to culturalappropriation..
