The All-Female Shakespeare

London’s Globe Theatre is producing Shakespeare with an all-woman cast. “The Globe’s audiences have proved ready to accept all-male productions. Will they feel the same about all-female casts? In our modern culture, one might as well ask whether it is more difficult to accept a woman as chief executive or as wooing partner. Statistics might suggest that it is, but many men and women do accept, and indeed flourish within, these reversals of traditional roleplay.”
