Not sure I find this very convincing. So it& #39;s the famous actors& #39; fault because they hate female playwrights, not you? Did McAvoy really say "yeah, I& #39;ll do Cyrano, but not if a lady translates it"? Seems unlikely...

As this tweet gets more attention, I& #39;ll add that I& #39;m not just trying to hate on JL, and I& #39;ve no doubt the logistics of working in the West End are indeed very tricky, but I don& #39;t think & #39;too tricky to work with female writers& #39; is really a thing.

Again, what do I know about commercial theatre, but I don& #39;t think you& #39;ll ever successfully diversify your audience if you& #39;re just serving up the same kind of stuff that was a hit before. Change up who you work with and your audience might well change too.
