I'm sorry but once you've seen one really superb physically disabled[1] actor play Shakespeare's Richard III, you absolutely cannot go back to watching an able-bodied actor play the role. Anyone else is going to suffer in comparison. Like, having seen Arthur Hughes play Richard at the RSC a couple of years ago, I'm hesitant even about rewatching Ian McKellen's film and a) that was made back when able-bodied actors playing Richard was more acceptable (I don't think less of Sir Ian for it), b) he's one of my favourite actors ever, c) until I saw Arthur Hughes, he was the best Richard I'd seen.
All of which is to say: Globe Theatre and Michelle Terry:-
what the actual fuck
you're better than this; you're literally having the glorious Francesca Mills play the Duchess of Malfi this year, how can you not recognise that casting the able-bodied artistic director of the company as Richard is an artistically and ethically shitty decision
sorry to Michelle Terry fans, but that overly percussive and rough-hewn verse-speaking and lack of subtlety or vocal variety? the last thing you need for Richard, even if she were disabled.
I am very angry and very disappointed. And also feeling very scathing as a disabled person, as a keen amateur actor and theatre-watcher, as a Shakespeare nerd.
Anyway. I'll watch that Duchess of Malfi if I get in a position to do so (Hughes as Bosola, also!), I'm not about to write off or "cancel" the Globe entirely over this, that would be stupid (and isn't what campaigners are asking for, especially as, I mean, part of the point is that they get enough actively right that them getting this so wrong is very out of left-field). But I can't see myself facing watching anything with Terry in it for a long while.
I am going to be rewatching Arthur Hughes' Richard at least once this year though! And relishing the thought. (It's on marquee.tv and digitaltheatre.com, if anyone's interested! <3 )
[1] Ideally visibly physically disabled, but I wouldn't insist on that.

'Prepare to hear George Orwell's 1984 like you've never heard it before, with a new adaptation coming to Audible – and RadioTimes.com has an exclusive first listen!
The audio clip, which you can listen to below, features Andrew Garfield and Andrew Scott and takes place in the story's infamous Room 101.
As can be heard, Winston (played by Garfield) is in the torture chamber in the Ministry and is being put through a harrowing ordeal by O'Brien (played by Scott).
We won't spoil too much so you can listen to the eerie six-minute clip and get a taste of what the full audio story will be like.
...You can listen to the whole thing when George Orwell's 1984 is released on Audible worldwide on April 4th 2024.
You can pre-order the audiobook now or sign up for an Audible subscription – if you're quick, there's currently a limited time deal to get three months of Audible for just 99p.
The Audible adaptation has a star-studded line-up, with Cynthia Erivo as Julia and Tom Hardy as the always watching Big Brother alongside Scott and Garfield.
Other casting includes Romesh Ranganathan as Parsons, Natasia Demetriou as Mrs Parsons, Chukwudi Iwuji as Charrington, Francesca Mills as Syme, Katie Leung as Ling and Alex Lawther as Ampleforth, alongside a full ensemble.
The Audible adaptation will transport listeners into the dystopian world of Orwell's 1984, with Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy and Ilan Eshkeri having created an original score performed by a 60-piece orchestra.
Aurelie de Troyer – Head of Regional Content, Europe at Audible – said: "This is 1984 like you've never heard it before. We've assembled a top team of creatives across the board, and the combination of the principal cast and Matt and Ilan's epic soundtrack is something quite extraordinary.
"Andrew Garfield was born to play Winston – just wait until you hear his performance."
The adaptation has been authorised and endorsed by the Orwell estate, with George Orwell's son Richard Blair calling it "sensational" with a "brilliant cast".'

Although I enjoyed this mini series... it felt a bit rushed.
IMO: the show would've benefited with a few more episodes; to flesh out the storyline and characters.

Oh no I suddenly want a play or similar version of The Lord of the Rings with Roger Allam as Theoden and Francesca Mills (look her up if you don’t know her work, she’s AMAZING) as Merry.
I will then sob a lot.
(Honestly no point in not getting Ian McKellen back to play Gandalf again, and means he and Roger get to work together even more...)
(And I suddenly contemplated Adjoa Andoh as Denethor and just... oh no I want this now.)
(Peter Dinklage as Frodo, natch. <3 )
