Richard III should only be played by a disabled actor – anything else is insulting

Shakespeare’s Globe has made a big show of turning the bard “woke”. ?” I see their point – as Richard III himself says : “Since every Jack became a gentleman; There’s many a gentle person made a Jack.” So far, so splendid. And while some might applaud Terry for realising the adage of “the show must go on” – and for the statement the Globe has put out, calling Richard III “an iconic disabled figure” – I simply don’t understand why they couldn’t have just employed a disabled actor to do it. And if someone chooses to “crip up” to play an “inspirational’ disabled character because they fancy a shot at an Olivier Award, it’s exactly the same thing! I’ve spoken to disabled performers who have steam coming out of their ears because of the number of times they have been approached to serve as “consultants” to help able-bodied stars look “authentic”.
