how would you feel if you saw a performance of Midsummer where all the men were played by women?

I just got home from an engaging production of Midsummer Night's Dream, and even though it was very good, I was just curious about the director's casting choices...Lysander, Demetrius, Theseus, Egeus, Oberon, and even Puck were played by women. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen a similar production or how they would feel if they did....
