In 2007, Neil Bartlett co-starred with Andrew A of Chris New and Sir Toby Belch on the twelfth night at RSC. Women play viola played by Andrew Aguecheek and Fabian. They are Marjorie Yates, Annabel Leventon, Joanne Howarth. Michael Billington of "guardian" thinks this is "strange and random", Charles Spencer of "telegraph" thinks that it is "self-indulgence and self discipline", the stage is "it is wonderful" "I believe" and "independence." Please say that this is "happy ... very fresh and good night."
So what is Bartlett doing, why does he do this? In two words, he is fighting for Shakespeare. Queer theory began as a challenge to cultural hegemony. It confirmed the norm of heterosexual love and left other sexual identity. As mentioned by Michael Warner in his book "The Strange Planet of Fear", Queer gained a significant advantage by defining himself as a normal person rather than a heterosexual. ... Homosexuality may even be said to be opposed to society itself.
Alexander Doty defines queer as "a flexible space to express all aspects of indirect cultural production and acceptance." In terms of drama, this flexible space means establishing a marginalized low-status art form, such as drag, ridiculous exaggeration, sexy performance or subversion, or a high status form. Established or exceeded the status of Shakespeare
An important concept in Queer's theory is performance. Judith Butler, a philosopher and sociologist, said, "Gender reality is created through sustained social performance ... as long as it is true", if gender is a performance, that is what you do Instead of your business, Shakespeare plays his boys and girls, they are dramatic gold mines, dressing up as boys, seducing men.
Madhavi Menon, a scholar, said, "I think there are many homosexuality theories born from Shakespeare." Neil Bartlett said "Twelve Nights" as "one of the most strange and most heinous dramas ever." In an interview with The Times, "If the theater company announces that Shakespeare's Anthony is played by a woman, everyone wants to know the reason, for men who say that the greatest playwright in history However, if Cleopatra is being played by women, no one will think, this character is written for men and one of the greatest playwrights ever, but these are facts So we should not ask, "Why cross actors?" "

Neuma interviews Melissa E. Sanchez (University of Pennsylvania) on Shakespeare and Qia's theory of her future Shakespeare and Queer theory series. The discussion involves Shakespeare 's strange thing, it is important to ask whether Shakespeare himself is homosexual, Shakespeare' s sexuality, and the current US presidential misoperation
Taking the suggestion of Guy-Bray as an example, some prose critics have recently appeared they read themselves in the texts of Shakespeare: desire and sexuality, edited by Goer Stanivukovic, Sheiksky: Shakespeare's A strange companion of perfect work, Madhavi, edits Menon and The Queer Shakespeare, edited by Clayton Kinnelon Greiman. I am worried that women's sexual abilities are so strong that they can overwhelm men and make them "unmanned". As British scholar Ben Sanders said, "In love with Renaissance, love who did not dare say himself is not homosexuality, but love that dared to regard a woman as a man's total dedication" .
What is Queer's theory? How does it apply to Shakespeare's research? Editor of the Australian Academy of Arts and Sciences of Madhavi Menon and Shakesqueer Companion Companion of Shakespeare (Duke University Press, 2011) talks about the strangeness of Shakespeare and why Bud continues to attract her. Menon: I do not think I can offer definitions. Because Queer 's theory is exactly the theory of pressure that we understand as a definition.
