Hi Neil,

continuing on the closed captions hell:

Amazon insists Crowley calls Aziraphale "Lady Brackney" in the pub scene, but I googled around and think he actually made a Lady Bracknell reference, cause Britannica says "[she] is the embodiment of conventional upper-class Victorian respectability". Would you confirm that?

Thanks in advance if you ever answer this ✨

Yes. That's the only line in the show that David improvised, too. I believe every take he'd order a sherry for Aziraphale with a different request (in the script I thought he'd be too far away to hear so I hadn't written a line). I love that he calls Aziraphale "Lady Bracknell" for all sorts of reasons.

I'm afraid that I will never get over the sheer genius of translating 'The Importance of Being Earnest' to Czech as 'Jak je důležité míti Filipa'

[profound-yet-trivial]

i just had the BEST idea

what if someone did a parody of the importance of being earnest

but instead of being about honesty etc

it was called the importance of being ERNEST

literally about two guys trying to change their names to Ernest

think about it

the aesthetics of this “importance of being earnest” production are so on point. Max Webster I am truly obsessed with your mind

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I know today everyone is talking about Macbeth, but if you are in or around London do yourself a favour and go and see The Importance Of Being Earnest at the National Theatre. It's absolutely, gloriously, unashamedly phenomenal.
