Apparently Will was a misogynist, cisgender and racist.

Shakespeare has made theatre too 'white, male, heterosexual and cisgender', claims new taxpayer-funded study

• The £800,000 project was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council

£800k they could have spent on saving disadvantaged kids.

Is this the same source that spewed a story the other week about having one performance of a play for a particular group of people was disgraceful discrimination and that white middle-class men must be allowed to go to see something they don't want to see anyway?

Interestingly, the claimed £800,000 was spent on what, exactly? The story seems to imply that it was spent on one report about Shakespeare. This may or may not be true, it's hard to find out since neither paper that has run the story has actually linked to the project or its report - because citing your sources is not required in journalism.

Odd the story about no whites etc was confirmed in the Slaver and by Auntie. Deciding entry to an event based on the colour of your skin is still as illegal and immoral as it was in the 70s.

There are references in the story, try reading them. The complaint apparently is Shakespeare did not have enough cross dressing, which shows the researchers are pretty incompetent.

There are references to other articles, but not to the research or the project. The original article in the Telegraph just referenced its own stories about Shakespeare. Your link is nothing to do with the project.
If the references were actually to the project, then you'd have provided a link, rather than trying to deflect to something else.

Says the master of deflection - oh its from the most popular newspaper in the UK it must be lies!!! Oh look last week there was a story I didn't like so it also must be lies!

Which bit are you doubting the value, the project or the findings?
