Affirmative Action Comes to British Theater
30th June 2012
Actresses should be cast in male roles on stage, says the union Equity as it complains about the lack of roles for women in theatre.
How long before playwrights are required by law to have an equal number of parts for men and women? Then the next step is to make sure the racial composition is Politically Correct.
Equity, the actors’ union, has accused the theatre of having “little regard for female performers’ right to work”.
How long before being in a play is a ‘human right’? No doubt there is a member of the waBenzi at the U.N. who is already on the case.
