NTS Kidnapped

[rosanicus]

Some months ago I discovered (through regshoe's posts) that the National Theatre of Scotland has an education portal through which you can watch proshot stage plays. Then I filed that information away in my mind where it sat, gathering dust, until this afternoon.

So I watched Kidnapped! And it was SO GOOD.

I confess that the only Stevenson I've read is Thrawn Janet (it's in a folk horror anthology) which I enjoyed but did actually give me a real life headache for no reason I can discern. But having seen various fannish joy over this stage adapation I thought I'd give it a try and oh boy did it deliver. I love how funny and wistful the whole piece was, and especially the narration. All over a wonderful experience, highly recommend it.

Now I'm off to read whatever Ao3 will offer me... and then probably the book, if I'm being honest. Maybe this will finally kick me into reading Flight of the Heron as well, I'm sensing a Jacobite invasion.

(The fact that watching a two hour stage musical prevented me from writing reports is neither here nor there, of course...)

I have now scoured the tag and thoroughly enjoyed myself! It was such a sweet and comforting watch and honestly rewatching it is all I've been thinking about most of the day...

(School reports <<<<<< Kidnapped. No contest)

:D Yay (and thank you for the kudos)! Oh, there is also this lovely drabble which wasn't posted to AO3, if you'd like one more.

YESSS Jannet and (No Longer) Bloody Karen! I am really developing a Kidnapped Situation at the moment, I'm listening to an unabridged audiobook with extreme delight.
