: Re: When developing a stage play, whose gender matters more? The characters' or the actors'? When striving for gender balance in a play: What is more important, balance among the characters or among

I think you already answered your question: among the actors. If not, why would gender balance be important in the play at all?

No play or book should limited by the sex of the characters, being just a fictional work. Sometimes that may count due to some specific theme the author wants to create but, apart from that, it shouldn't matter at all. You are asking that question exactly because you want to be have a proportional quota for each sex of your fellow students - aka human beings, aka actors - not among the characters.

Your concern is the people, not the characters and, as you already said, you don't care if an actor plays the role of a female character and vice-versa. Just let the best actors - male or female - play the roles that fit better.
