cinaed: I will fill this ship tag (Ship Tag)

I didn't end up watching Jane Eyre and have Twelfth Night on my watch list, but I agree with your thoughts on Treasure Island and One Man Two Guvnors!

I was really excited at the start of Treasure Island when upon being asked if they were a boy or a girl Jim said "None of your business!" and then almost immediately leaned hard into "she's a girl!" Also agreed with the adaptation not understanding how much more interesting "Long John is my friend and my enemy" is than "Long John is evil." Both Muppet Treasure Island and Treasure Planet did it better! I will admit I was super into Doctor Livesay.

One Man Two Guvnors was a lot of fun, though I did wince a bit that the only gay character was the dead one. I honestly kept expecting her brother to show back up alive at the end of the play, having somehow survived being shot! It seemed like that kind of play! But it had a fun zaniness to it, and yes, plucky cross-dressing heroine/her upper-crust himbo boyfriend was delightful and hilarious.
