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
