Is there a man drought in local theatre or is it just my imagination?

Cross Gender Roles

Some years back, I choreographed the fight/sword sequences for Romeo and Juliet with GRADs (Part of UWA). We had a number of women playing male roles including a femal Tybalt. There's nothing more frightening than an angry woman with a sword in her hands. I think it actually made the play better.
