I just saw the most fantastic ballet I've ever seen - Gentleman Jack by the Northern Ballet in London. It was spectacular and I don't know when I'll get over it
I can't recommend it highly enough
If you get a chance: go see it -

Finally finished Gentleman Jack and I gotta say, season 2 wasn't nearly as good as season 1, unfortunately. 😬
I know you can't divide Anne Lister from politics and social and class issues, but somehow the first season handled the entire mix of it much better.
I still love Suranne Jones as Anne though. Maybe season 3 would've brought it back, but now we'll never know. #GentlemanJack

TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY
The wonderful BBC/HBO series GENTLEMAN JACK had its U.S. premiere on today's date in 2019.
This entertaining, well-made show puts a gender-nonconforming lesbian front and center. The scripts are based on the life and diaries of Anne Lister (1791-1840).
This was the BBC's second dramatization of Lister's diaries in less than a decade (the first being a 2010 TV movie called THE SECRET DIARIES OF MISS ANNE LISTER).

Inizio a notare un certo pattern.
P. S. Alla fine l'ho finita di guardare la serie. Mantengo il mio giudizio negativo sulla seconda. Meglio non l'abbiano rinnovata, dai. Per una volta.

#SuranneJones #teases #queer #fans: ‘I’ll be back with more #lesbian #characters’.
The actor developed a major #LGBTQ+ #fanbase in recent years thanks to #roles like 19th-century #diarist #AnneLister in #GentlemanJack and, more recently, #AmySilva in #Vigil.

The show Gentleman Jack brought many people around to Team Lister. I myself was a bit concerned at how enthusiastically Lister pursued Miss Walker's money as well as her person.
Turns out that Miss Walker was not the only lover whose fortune Anne Lister eyed thoughtfully. Eliza Raine came first.
Raine, like Walker, also ended her days in an asylum, and was put there with Lister's support. LIster then proposed herself to manage Raine's estate.

CW: Queer media representation in the early 2000s, thread
Don't get me wrong. There were things I liked about #GentlemanJack. But I think the show could have been stronger if it would have dug deeper into the class dynamics of the show. Anne's ability to express herself as she does is very much the result of her class privilege and her ability to do so is literally paid for by children working in coal mines. I'm not saying people can't like her character or the show, but I wish the show would have maybe made space for discussing the intersections of heteronormativity and cis-normativity and class.
Because #TippingTheVelvet focuses specifically on working class queer characters, though, it didn't bring up as many complicated feelings for me around the characters.

CW: Queer media representation in the early 2000s, thread
That being said, I think #TippingTheVelvet pretty much still holds up today. Maybe there's a bit more opportunity there to explore the possibility that Nan is nonbinary now than there would have been back in the early 2000s. The camera work does this unnerving thing where the audience is sometimes put in the perspective of a character in the show in a way that to me is unnerving and 4th wall breaking, I think unintentionally. Sometimes tonally the Vaudeville kind of aestheic they're going for doesn't always work. But it mostly holds up.
I found myself comparing it to #GentlemanJack, and overall, I think Tipping the Velvet does a better job of examining class, which I really wish Gentleman Jack would have been more critical of or encouraged the audience to be more critical of. I'm sorry, but I struggled to root for Anne when she was a landlord.

Goodness I missed how #writing research can take me down such wonderful rabbit holes. Trying to dig up a few interesting historical or literary women named Anne, and came across #AnneLister. Now I have yet more books added to my list, as well as the #GentlemanJack show...

So excited for the #LesbianHistoricMotifProject podcast to present this interview with Jill Liddington to talk about all things Ann Lister, and her new book As Good As A Marriage!
Liddington's earlier book, Female Fortune inspired the tv series #GentlemanJack. The new book looks at the first 2 years of the Lister/Walker marriage.

#GentlemanJack — most probably gone for good. Suranne Jones Was incredible. The show was bravely written. Deserved more eyeballs.
#PerryMason — another extremely well-written series with tough low-key performances. It’s far from a 1930s nostalgia piece—it’s dark, grim and gritty and the tales it tells are not easily tied up with a bow. Fantastic show that I never see get talked up.

#today I've got a work gig at a #spanking party with a Victorian dress code. Need to look good to cishet male clients, but also want to express my genderqueerness. I'm inspired by Anne Lister's costumes in #GentlemanJack. Wish I had the budget to get some high quality replicas! Instead I'll be cobbling something together from what I've got...

#gentlemanjack has been there during weddings, international crises and major life events. I realize that this kind of brand loyalty is probably little different from insanity, but at the same time I appreciate the logistics of the company that makes it, so that I can get it on one side of the planet or the other as needs dictate.
Because my Master’s just came to my house and I’m glad that’s over.

British actress #SylviaSyms has died at age 89. Syms appeared in some TV roles in the 1950s but her star was launched in the 1958 film #IceColdAlex. She had a steady film career with roles in #TheWorldOfSuzieWong, #Victim, #Asylum, #TheTamarindSeed, #AbsoluteBeginners, #ShirleyValentine, #WhatAGirlWants, and #TheQueen in which she played the Queen Mother. She also continued to act on TV with a final role on #GentlemanJack. See full credits on #IMDb. #RIP

And really, as my TV thoughts tend to get zero engagement (my thoughts on popcorn, toxic masculinity, or dresses with pockets, OTOH—watch out, bb!), I'll carry on safe in the knowledge that mine is clearly the only correct #GentlemanJack fourth wall analysis, TYVM.
-
I've finally watched #GentlemanJack and (aside from the fact that, holy exploding cows, @[email protected], @[email protected], or some other, wiser streaming service must #SaveGentlemanJack) I know the 4th wall thing got under some folks' skins—but can't you see, in those moments, WE are Anne's journal?
