Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
Ireland used to be a Christian country.
Then they became a bunch of pussy-sniffers, and now they’re in freefall collapse.
Oh, this is the Netherlands?
Well, same deal there.
Same deal everywhere, in fact.
The Jews come in and say “catch a whiff of this, GOY ANIMAL” and start waving pussies around. The goyim get to sniffing and it’s game over.
An attempt to stage Waiting for Godot in the Netherlands took on a Beckettian turn when the venue cancelled the performances because the Irish director had auditioned only men for the all-male cast of characters.
“I would wholeheartedly say that my life in the past few weeks has become utterly absurd,” said Donegal native Oisín Moyne (24), who had hoped to make his directorial debut with the Samuel Beckett work about the irrationalism of life.
The play, in which Vladimir and Estragon are occasionally joined by other male characters as they await someone who never arrives, had been in rehearsals since November and was due to be staged at the University of Groningen’s Usva student cultural centre in March.
But the performances were cancelled after the venue discovered the casting call for the play’s five male roles had been open to men only, something they informed the production team went against a university inclusivity policy.
“If it concerned a play with five white guys that they’d held open auditions for, everything would have been fine. But you can’t ban people right from the start,” Usva theatre programmer Bram Douwes told the Ukrant newspaper.
A spokesperson for the University of Groningen said that times had moved on since the play was first staged in 1953.
“[Beckett] explicitly stated that this play should be performed by five men. Moving forward, times have changed. And that the idea that only men are suitable for this role is outdated and even discriminatory,” university press officer Elies Kouwenhoven said.
“We as a university stand for an open inclusive community where it is not appropriate to exclude others, on any basis.”
Mr Moyne told The Irish Times he had considered casting people of other genders for the roles, but could not do so because of rules set down by the playwright before his death and upheld by the Beckett estate.
Beckett sued a Dutch theatre company in 1988 for choosing to cast women in the play, the best known work from the Theatre of the Absurd movement. His estate holds the rights to the work until 2059, and has continued to oppose productions that deviate from Beckett’s instructions.
There have been efforts to challenge these restrictions – seen by some as increasingly archaic. In France in 1991, a judge ruled that the play could be performed by a female cast at a festival in Avignon, but only if a letter of objection from the late playwright’s representative was read before each show.
Why would this be something a judge decides?
How is this a normal society?
In late 2019, an Ohio college cancelled an all-female production of the play, fearing a lawsuit by Beckett’s estate. And in 2021, a non-binary member of the British clown theatre company Silent Faces staged Godot is a Woman, a play tackling the gender rules around Beckett’s work.
In the case of the Groningen production, context was laid out in the casting call, which read that “unfortunately no leniency can be afforded in this casting”, and linked to reports about the willingness of the estate to take legal action in the past. The agency managing the rights did not respond to a request for comment at time of publication.
We’ve told you every month: “it’s going to be even weirder next month.”
We’ve yet to be wrong.
I’m not a fan of the play, but it has a bit of relevance in relation to the coming utopia.
We’re all sitting around waiting for it as we engage in inane conversation intended to confuse and enrage, but it doesn’t appear to be coming.
