director here. Thank you so much for this shoutout. the cast/crew whatsapp has been pinging like mad from the reviews all day, then they finished the show and saw you had posted as well!

I didn't understand the actual joke for a second and thought this was was some new playwright at the royal court that I hadn't heard of

If it helps, humans have been duped by this kind of thing for at least the last 400 years.

I tried to write a parody response like 'the wokerati would cancel numberwang' but I just know Gl1nner has probably already said something like this already

Ok, except one of the major themes of the play is about how trans people and cis people relate to each other. So forgive me for being horrendously boring but I did cast trans people as the trans characters. We also had many trans people audition for cis characters, which was encouraged.

Reminder Starmer used the murder of Brianna Ghey to attack Sunak.

He was quite happy to acknowledge trans people when he needed a disposable attack line, the spineless coward.

and the same sorts of people say this means that trans people are horrible vandals who are attacking women and we deserve to have our human rights taken away. Funny that!!! (3/3)

and it should never have been built, and the money should have gone on real people, BUT ALSO the Brian Clough statue got a bit of paint on it during the trans rights protest, (2/3)
