oh my god, is it? He got me completely! (What sold me especially is the part where he yells "tonight of all nights!" like he was completely flummoxed by it happening on National Theater Live night.) GIVE JAMES CORDEN THAT OSCAR.
PILOT WAS SO GOOD. Regardless of my thoughts about the Jane Eyre adaptation as a literary text, I thought it was just an incredibly cool piece of theater, as you say -- doing all kinds of things that can only be done in theater as a medium.
lol, I've seen so many completely oblivious Sebastians that just having Sebastian acknowledge & return Antonio's feelings at all felt great to me, but it did fizzle out somewhat in the second half ... we spent a little bit of time while watching talking about how difficult it is to figure out what to do with Sebastian in the back end, because nothing he does makes any sense, and this production didn't take any particular steps towards dealing with that.
sjd;fdsaI'M SO EXCITED, I hope they screen it!! At this point I will happily watch Oliver Chris in anything.
