No, It's Not Juliet & Juliet

washingtonpost.com: "No sooner had the Shakespeare Theatre Company -- the big kahuna of classical theater in town -- begun auditioning for an all-male 'Romeo and Juliet' than Lise Bruneau and Marcus Kyd of Taffety Punk Theatre Company determined to counter the production with an all-female one."

Although I admit the all-female production of Romeo and Juliet sounds really interesting, I feel like the feminist hackles that get raised by the all-male one is unjustified. No matter how much it sucks for classically trained female actors, it is historically accurate. Same with the lack of swordplay for female roles.
