This talk investigates how "access" operates within theatre institutions to obscure the very barriers it would seem to address. By looking at theatres who seek engagement by encouraging audiences to locate transgender themes and identities in Shakespeare's cross-dressing plays, we can see the tension between the theatre's aspirations of access and their resistance to actual connection with these and other "underserved" communities.
