Period costumes, a set torn out of a picture book, and English accents? What more could you ask for?!

“Confirmed Bachelor” tells the story in the style of a classic regency romance novel, with its stylized dialogue and the characters’ constant trips to each other’s homes. The show features only two actors playing four characters, cleverly worked through by having differentiating props such as a fan or a pipe, instead of lengthy costume changes for every scene.

Though the show is set in the Regency period, there are a lot of modern jokes and references included – even featuring an instrumental version of “I’ll make a man out of you” playing during a sequence where Eliza disguises herself as a man. The show was delightfully queer, and felt wonderfully classic, with elements of both Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and every Jane Austen novel to exist.

There were a couple moments that could have been shorter scenes, although it makes sense that some of it would be more drawn out considering the inspiration from classic novels. Overall, the show couldn’t be better summed up than by an overheard audience member: “Bridgerton but gay”
