Gender bias in theatre.
Mon, 29 June 2009, 09:43 amThere is a great article here about gender bias in American theatre, where the majority of plays staged are by male authors. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about the findings presented in the article.
Do you think there's a problem of gender bias here in Australia? What can we do? What should we do?
HMMM

To my shame that's all I can think of without cheating and very few of them are currently working.
I resisted putting myself on the list.
Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing.
