The headcanon that book!Hermione is black has been around for a while. Apparently the producers of this play decided to run with that.

Characters can look different in different versions of a work. Note the difference in eye colour between book!Harry and movie!Harry.

And for those who say, "But skin colour is different, because that's a race!" Meh. Not really, not in this case. Harry's green eyes were both more exotic and a much larger part of the book than Hermione's skin tone or exact ethnic background, and the movies dropped that. Hermione's character doesn't stop working if she's of Guyanese descent. Not every character has to be the same ethnic background in every version.

I'm totally fine with Hermione being black--in the books, the new play, whatever. But I thought the big problem with movie Harry's eyes wasn't "they're not green," but that book Harry's eyes looked like Lily's and helped fuel Snape's obsession/redemption/assholishness, but movie Lily's and movie Harry's eyes didn't match, so the filmmakers might as well have left that whole plot point out.
