Gender bias in theatre.

There 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?

What about Kate Mulvaney?

Seems painfully obviously, but no one has listed her yet. Currently winning awards and getting a lot of work, at least locally. Although the seed is the only one with a female lead, the web and the danger age both had male leads. Then locally, there is also Kate Rice, Polly Low and lets not forget Jenny Davis.
