always a tricky sort of gender calculus - what's the logic of the gender swap casting? Is it simply the best actor for the role or subverting a traditional reading of a character? Is it critiquing something in the society of the play or the society of the audience? Can be revelatory or a gimmick

I get they don't review short runs or the vast majority of Off-Off. That's bad enough. But major Off openings get wrapped up, maybe, in "critic's notebooks." Even worse for short runs of classical concerts and opera.
