i hate “accurate” shakespeare productions where all the actors are white guys. the reason women didn’t act in his plays was because it was illegal in that time obv due to misogyny, and we don’t want that to carry over. there were characters of colour that shakespeare specifically wrote. for example, othello was a part for a black actor and yet there r MODERN productions of othello where othello’s actor is a white dude in blackface.

shakespeare would be thrilled if he knew that modern productions of his works featured diverse casts, complete with not only female actors, lgbt actors, and actors of colour, but interpretations that have been tweaked to showcase modern issues that black communities, gay people, women, etc. face.

if you want to do something, do it. a midsummer production where they’re all lesbians? a romeo and juliet production depicting racial tensions? a twelfth night production where viola is and is played by a trans women? shakespeare’s ghost will give u a thumbs up. (plus his works are out of copyright so u can do whatever the hell you want with them whether he’d want you to or not.)

Would the Takarazuka all female theater be enough? Cause they pretty much do ANYTHING especialy Shakespeare:

Romeo & juliet:

Hamlet:

Puck (Midsummer Night’s Dream):

Rome at Dawn (Julius Caesar):

The two noble Kinsmen:

Shakespeare:

STOP ACTIVATING MY GAY I BEG YOU

Bi panic!

The 104st totally play “Get Down Mr. President!” but instead of Mr. President it is Commander.

And they all tackle Wolffe.

Nowhere is safe.

And Telusa started the game for kicks but now it is out of hand. When Plo Koon asks what they are doing , they say training for protection detail duties.

And without missing a beat, Plo Koon stares right at Wolffe and you can hear his smile and just says “Well then… Get down Commander.”

And it was the middle of a briefing so there is just a massive dog pile with a muffled “oh god why” from the bottom of the clone stack as Wolffe is squished flat.
