Скачать или смотреть Nothing Comes Close from Cutlass the musical

"Nothing Comes Close" was the eighth piece of of ten performed at the 2026 workshop of Cutlass the musical at the Tuesday Night Cafe Theatre, Montréal. This is the moment Anne Bonny and Mary Read confess their true feelings for one another.

Cutlass is a fresh retelling of the lives of Anne Bonny and Mary Read, the two most infamous female pirates in western history. While other interpretations of this story tend to redact their possible romantic relationship, Cutlass proudly represents queer transgression as a ubiquitous theme in the world of 18th century piracy. From the two cross-dressing women mistaking each other as men (a legend that contributed to their persisting fame), to falling in love despite their same sex, and finally to fighting side-by-side during their capture by Jonathan Barnet, the love story between Bonny and Read is one that transcends all constraints of time and societal expectations. In this new musical, creator Elise Holbrook strives to celebrate all of the rebellious people (especially women+) throughout history who have fought for their right to thrive as their authentic selves, leaving no regrets.
