A new production of Othello in Liverpool has gone to town on diversity, the Moor of Venice
is now a Black Female Lesbian.

Cole Porter would have to rewrite this

Brush up your Shakespeare
Start quoting him now
Brush up your Shakespeare
And the women you will wow
Just declaim a few lines from Othella
And they'll think you're a hell of a fella

Diversity now rules in the theatre,e.g. Othello must be played by a black actor, Maria from West Side Story must be a
Latino, The Engineer from Miss Saigon must be an Asian. However, it is OK for a black actor to play Richsrd the third.
