I do wish they'd let the role continue being gender-ambiguous, as it seemed like it was going to do in the first scene, as opposed to coming down firmly on GIRL

Same!

I've been struggling with these National Theatre streams -- I've seen Treasure Island and part of Twelfth Night -- I think because the actors are all giving big performances to match the space they're in, but my brain is trying to watch it as a TV show and consequently judging the acting as overblown. It wasn't too bad in Treasure Island because a lot of the characters were meant to be larger than life anyway, but with Twelfth Night I had to tap out after the first half an hour and I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to try it again now that I think I've figured out what's up and have an idea what to expect.
