Why when you have a classic children's novel would you want to adapt it to the theatre following the conventions of a completely different children's novel?

As for racially mixed casting, Branagh cast black actors for roles where the race or origins is not mentioned in the work, hence my argument. It took too long in UK theatre for black actors to be cast as Othello, casting against work descriptions in issues of race and origins only takes us back to the days when white actors 'blacked up' (sic) to play Othello.
