It always interesting to think about Greek plays and how men always played the women.  I think that many people forget that men did play women. I have to wonder what people would say if they saw a play today with men playing all the roles.  I think a lot of people would be angry by this because of equality.  I think though it might also be a good way to make a statement.  I also think about the play Peter Pan.  No one really had an issue that Pan was played by a woman.  Its a double standard that it is wrong if men play women but acceptable if women play men.   I think this could bring up a debate between men and women to see what they would think of the topic.  It might even be useful to have a play when it is done with only men and again with only women in the play.  What would this bring up?
