I was curious about the other adaptions of Lieutenant Nun after Professor Velasco showed us two of its adapted movies, so I looked up online and found a short excerpt of the play The Adventure of the Lieutenant Nun. It's a scene that Erauso flirts adeptly with a married woman.
This play is presented by Macha Theater which is just located in West Hollywood. Macha Theater's main target is to improve people's understanding to the LGBT community. Erauso in The Adventure of the Lieutenant Nun is characterized more as a lesbian than a transvestite, and the play is reviewed as "an exhilarating, bawdy romp". Despite our impression on Erauso from the original book in which Erauso narrates her story with little emotion and mainly conveys her violent and masculine aspects, it is interesting to see Erauso's emotional behavior. By the way, I think the actress who plays Erauso is pretty passable.
