| I have zero problem with "shifting the gaze." I confess I am a little troubled by how much this sounds like someone channeling Hamilton (not for the first or last time). We have had so many sex-shifted productions, going back far before this, and Hamilton, that it seems kind of silly to read people acting like this as if it some aborning trend to be avoided. The key, as always, is whether they have something creative and insightful to convey because of the shift. For that we will have to wait. If one does not want to wait, and wants to reject it sight unseen, then as Dramedy says, they can. |
