If a different director put on the same play adapted for an all female cast it would be “inspiring”. I find all of this gender nonsense childish and exhausting

I find all of this gender nonsense childish and exhausting. I just don’t care how you want to present yourself or what kind of person you want to have a relationship with. If we’ve gotten to the point where a play has to be canceled because it’s not got any women in it, I think it’s time to declare victory and go home. If it’s not time for that, focus on more important unfairness, for the love of god.
- neaden 4y agoThe article mentions two people who did/attempted that, one in France where they had to read a letter of objection from Beckett's estate and another in 2019 that was cancelled due to a lawsuit threat. The fact that Beckett's estate is so willing to sue over this is what makes this story unusual, the director of the play seemed perfectly willing to cast non-males in the play if he had the flexibility to do so.
