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

  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

    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
