    Using 'woke' as a pejorative is a huge red flag; if you are so threatened by people caring about racism, misogyny and social injustice, reflect on why that is. And Shax's value for exploring social injustice is a big part of why the plays are still onstagehttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/theatre/what-to-see/woke-brigade-close-cancelling-shakespeare/ …

        I once got a very dirty look from Cavendish during the interval at a press night at the Almeida. My partner and I wanted to discuss the production without anybody understanding, so we switched to Romanian. His neck spun so fast I thought he might give himself whiplash.

        Is there some way to avoid the paywall? I’d rather not fund the telegraph.

        I think the best way to avoid the paywall is to avoid the article full stop.

        Haven't managed to read the whole article yet due to the paywall, but very first thought: the fact that they've run an article with that title, for that paper's presumed readership, using a photo of Nadia Nadarajah is concerning, to say the least

        It's sick. Regardless of what the article has to say, those editors KNOW that most people will see just the headline, picture and first paragraph, and that it will simply stoke hate and prejudice.

        Definitely not clicking on something that looks like it was produced by a Telegraph headline generator. (Also, surely the photo of a brilliant actor doing a crowd-pleasing fresh take on Shakespeare disproves whatever point they think they're making?)

        Replying to @DrPeteKirwan

        Read the first few paragraphs through reloading and scrolling before the paywall kicks in and it's pretty much as regressive and Shakespeare-illiterate as the headline suggests. Scare-quote 'woke' is up there with 'virtue signal' in 'Please disregard what I am about to say' ;p

        Oh FFS, what is this noise? I suggested on a drama teachers forum recently that these recent ‘actors nowadays don’t do Shax properly’ rumblings were dog whistle racism & was shouted down, this depressingly proves the point though 😣

        Eugh, how dare he even put Laurence Fox and Shakespeare in the same sentence, let alone imply they have anything in common.

        The suggestion that LF "may be" a genius is as hilarious as it is stupid.
