Well, it looks like we've got some interest. I've done some reconverting on the old EF boards, and so if you're wanting to act, head over there and we can get this rolling. |

I will give it a go. (I just dont want to play a man. )
You have to play a man, with Shakespeare all the women's roles go to men, that's the tradition and it can't be broken, not even for that guy who plays Captain Picard How about a woman, playing a man who is playing a woman? I don't know, I still think the Tudor and Stuart generations would have taken issue. But they're all dead now I guess. That's because he isn't Kirk, rules would be changed for Shatner.
I hold ..... the world .... but .... as .... the world .... Gratiano ............... A stage .... where .... every man ... must .... play a part............. and mine ... a .... sad one .... |

The link was actually integrated into the sentence. Maybe a little too subtle? Linky. |

I'd nominate Rachel Stone for a part, but she's female, and females have no part in a Shakespeare play.
Gotta love that historical humor!
Neil Tathers on the other hand may wish to join.

Huh? You mean Juliet was a MAN? Yuck. Well, pretty and somewhat effeminate boys, probably. That's why Shakespeare used to get so much humour out of women dressing as men or vice versa in his plays. It's like meta-humour. |

I must interrupt here. and females have no part in a Shakespeare play.
You're all partly right and partly wrong. The first woman on stage occurred in the 1660s and quickly caught on. As I doubt anyone here can speak very good Tudor-English I suppose it will be a modern version and therefore women can play what they want. Kurtz, you posted as I was typing... |
