I mean obviously Phoebe Waller-Bridge purists will think it’s a travesty. But they should relax. It’s good to introduce Fleabag to audiences that might otherwise be resistant because of the odd language and modern clothes. And the original is still there.

Can’t quite decide whether it’s more or less awkward than Luther’s wedding night, when he insisted on an old friend witnessing the consummation of his marriage to Katharine von Bora. (Indebted for these two eyeopeners to Clare Carlisle’s book The Marriage Question).

This is from George Henry Lewes’ Life of Goethe, which reads almost like a bad first draft of the final sentence of The Origin of Species (published four years later). I wonder if Darwin read it? https://t.co/biz1puXExz
