with an all female cast. Afterwards the audience was invited to stay for a discussion. Nobody said they were bothered by females playing male roles, and I made the comment that as someone who loves listening to audiobooks, I’m quite accepting of both female and male readers handling dialogue from both sexes. And of course there’s that whole male actor monopoly from back in the day.
