The 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.
