The 'disproportionate representation' of William Shakespeare has propagated 'white, able-bodied, heterosexual, cisgender male narratives' in theatre, according to a taxpayer-funded study.
The £800,000 project was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research CouncilThe 'disproportionate representation' of William Shakespeare has propagated 'white, able-bodied, heterosexual, cisgender male narratives' in theatre, according to a taxpayer-funded study.
The AHRC-funded project is devoted to 'centering marginalised communities in the contemporary performance of early modern plays'. William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. Researchers at the University of Roehampton aimed to challenge the 'normative trend' by mounting a production of Gallathea, which features characters disguised as the opposite sex. The academics said the 16th century comedy, by John Lyly, has had 'almost no stage history since 1588'
Author Lionel Shriver told the Sunday Telegraph that Shakespeare would outlast 'this dogmatic mangling', adding: 'His plays will continue to be enjoyed long after today's 'intersectional' performances have foreshortened into a freakish comical footnote in theatrical history.' Tory MP Jane Stevenson, who sits on the culture, media and sport committee, said she was 'all for widening repertoire' but added: 'I'm not sure reducing Galatea to a celebration of all things woke, or knocking Shakespeare for being pale, male and stale is much more than cultural click-bait'.
