And let’s be honest, any intelligent marketing person would use even a single comment to try and get attention for their, ahem, difficult-to-market play

Let’s be honest: none of the people complaining about race in an adapt of Shakespeare play are going to and see a Shakespeare play.

I don’t understand how this play could possibly be hard to market, it’s possibly the most famous English stage play with very famous people. What am I missing here?

It’s shakespeare. It’s boring, the younger crowd aren’t interested any more
Or were you hoping I’d say something racist? 😂

Yeah, more like I worry that was your implication, it was hard to read it any other way.
I’m sure the younger crowd are just as interested in a play from 1597 as you were in the 1900s, and doubly so in Tom Holland. Seems like the tickets would sell themselves

I doubt anyone complaining even formed their views themselves, rather just told what views to have by some “free thinker” con man
