Producers are having trouble filling female roles in a play that attacks famed author J.K. Rowling’s transgender stance, with some 90 actresses turning down the offer so far.
Creators of a play called “TERF” — which stands for Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist — said their play is a “well-paid gig meeting industry standards and the script is terrific,” but still nearly 100 aspiring actresses have said no thanks, Red State reported.
“This project has met some kind of resistance every step of the way, though I’ve been generally surprised by how difficult it has been for us to recruit the female cast in particular,” creative producer Barry Church-Woods told the Telegraph.
“I think it’s fair to say that a few things are coming into play in casting,” he added.
