I am so horrendously saddened by this. The production was exceptional and it was such a pleasure to see an all female cast putting on one of my favorite plays in a genre more often relegated to all-male casts or mixed before female. I am so sorry for this negative experience and deeply deeply disgusted. It meant so much to me as a female scholar of Shakespeare to be able to enjoy such a production and to have had it sullied by what I can only say are pieces of entitled shit is horrible. To say I am surprised would be a total lie however. Toxic masculinity is prevalent and everywhere including -- and especially-- the arts. Sadly one cannot even blame "Oh some drunk was being a jerk" it is absolutely tied to the all-female nature of the presentation. Again I am saddened by this, and hope you reconsider such productions.
