| This is not a numbers game. It's art. It's creativity. Let's talk about which women directors, writers, etc should be getting a chance instead of railing on about stats. | |

| No, let's talk about the number of women graduating from theatre programmes vs. the proportion of women getting hired for the most high-profile jobs. Then let's talk about the proportion of women in the audience - buying tickets - vs. the proportion of women represented in creative roles. Or are you suggesting women are somehow less capable of "art" and "creativity" than men? Because if that's the case, you haven't met enough women. |
