No, it is not true that all parts in Noh dramas were played by women. Historically, Noh theater originated in Japan in the 14th century and was performed exclusively by men. While women were involved in some performance traditions, such as Kyōgen and Kabuki, Noh remained a male-dominated art form, with male actors portraying all roles, including female characters.
In early Greek dramas, men and women played distinct but significant roles. Most performances were predominantly male, with men acting in all roles, including female characters, due to societal norms that restricted women from participating in theater. However, the themes of these dramas often explored gender dynamics, relationships, and societal expectations, reflecting the roles and perceptions of both men and women in ancient Greek society. Female characters, despite being portrayed by men, were central to many narratives, influencing plot development and character motivations.
In Shakespeare's own era, it was deemed highly improper for women to act in plays, so the parts were played by men, in particular slim, young boys whose voices hadn't yet changed.By the Restoration of the Monarchy (1660), the tradition was dropped, and actresses appeared on the English stage, although some parts, such as the nurse in Romeo and Juliet and the witches in Macbeth were still played by men for comic effect.
