Should have cast a male to play Juliet like the original. Wonder what the response would have been then?
Honestly watching Shakespeare in the cross dressing way really made me like it. They teach you Shakespeare in school by reading it, that's stupid. That's like studying the godfather and only reading the script and never watching the film. I hated it. Then one day I saw the actual play, done in drag and it really made the humor pop and made me finally understand what the fuck they were talking about in that script
Plenty of people have read The Godfather to study it.
You're never going to get the full authentic Shakespeare experience watching a play
a) inside
b) in the evening
c) while the audience is quiet
d) without people heckling
e) without bear baiting, gambling, and bawdy folk songs before and after
g) without people plying sex trade during the show
A woman's role in theatre played by an actual woman!? What a load of woke agenda BS!
/S
"Sounds gay. I'm in!"
Or a 13 year old girl to play Juliet and a grown ass man to play Romeo
You keep repeating the claim that Romeo was not of similar age as Juliet yet there is no evidence for it.
Evidence? No, but given the time period the play is set in. It is more than feasible given their supposed social class.
The lineup for tickets would be around the block.
