    What the fuck?

    “Actors and actresses could only play a role that was the same gender they were assigned at birth,” Hightower recounted the conversation.

      During shakespeares time, they did not allow female actors, so all women on stage were played by men.

      Shakespeare had men acting in skirts and dresses. Juliet of Romeo and Juliet, a 14 year old girl was played by a man. The kissing between the Capulet heiress and the Montague boy were two men smooching on stage.
