| The public has been informed that a significant reason for the takeover of this institution is to ensure that drag performances are kept off the stage and thus the minds of the nation’s youth remain unsullied. This makes me wonder, would the following be banned there? Glenda Jackson in King Lear. (Okay. I’ve heard from some that Gold’s production should have been banned anyway. But that’s not the point.) Mark Rylance’s Twelfth Night. Chicago. Any production of The Merchant of Venice or As You Like It. I had not realized what a cultural subversive that Will Shakespeare was. I apologize if some think that I’m just a disgruntled liberal. .. Okay, I am. But as I understand it, drag performances will be banned from the Kennedy Center stages. To be replaced by good, wholesome Christian American fare. How does one distinguish between removing a Shakespearean play from works that will corrupt the young minds of America; like Some Like It Hot? Perhaps it’s time for a revival of Our American Cousin. |
