   Exactly! Although, even modern renderings of A Midsummer Night's Dream have a    
   travesti: Flute, the bellows mender, portrays Thisbe in the play they present    
   at the Duke's wedding. Andreas was in A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Public    
   Theater in New York, in the early 80s, but he didn't get to play a woman    
   then, either: he was Snout the Tinker, so in the wedding play, he portrayed a    
   wall (or rather, "Wall"). :-)
