Hey, shakespearean scholar here! "As You Like It" is a play that openly explores and defies gender norms and boundaries. I will remind you that Rosalind spends the play disguised as a man, while she is palyed by a male actor. It has been meant to be queer from the very instant it was first played in the 16th century. Classics are meant to travel with us across the centuries : it is only desirable that this play is interpreted through its queer lense. It is not ideological, it is not propaganda : it is creative freedom. Lets thank those actors for their respect to the actual spirit of the original text. Shakespeare's comedies are meant to be deeply happy, and I think no one but these people could do it any better.
Brilliant production…fantastic cast ❤
Diverse cast…
Bruh I wanna see the whole thing
Can we see Shakespeare without the woke propoganda please.
Yeah bring back ORIGINAL Shakespeare with all male casting so we can see men dressed as women pretending to be men as the Bard intended! 😂😂😂

Shakespeare, famously a conservative playwright who never thought about gender or its implications when writing his plays

No harm surely. It might attract a newer audience .
