So on the one hand I think this satirical piece is kind of mean in terms of how obviously pointed it is - it has an unmistakable cartoonish drawing of Emma Rice right at the top, so the Guardian hasn't even gone for deniability - but on the other hand, every time Emma Rice gives an interview, she pretty much sounds exactly like this:

It's pretty rich coming from the Guardian, who has a pretty long track record of sneering at the Globe for being overly committed to a particular version of authenticity!
