One thought I had – can Bluebeard’s Bride be played with Bluebeard as a woman, or is masculinity a core part of the character? And if Bluebeard can be a non-cis-male, how might that change the dynamics of the story?
Thought was inspired by a story called ‘My Lady’s Maid’ from the Podcastle podcast , which seems to fit the Bluebeard mold despite being about two women – (http://podcastle.org/2015/12/01/podcastle-392-the-ladys-maid/).
