Julie D’Aubigny was a 17th-century bisexual French opera singer and fencing master who killed or wounded at least ten men in life-or-death duels, performed nightly shows on the biggest and most highly-respected opera stage in the world, and once took the Holy Orders just so that she could sneak into a convent and shag a nun.

We’re not making a historical documentary here. Drama invariably sexes things up a bit, and simplifies. But I think that’s completely valid if it brings an era of political and social history to an audience that wouldn’t otherwise know about it. I mean, only 230 years ago, in this country, a woman was the property of her husband. That’s something that women in their 20s should consider when slagging off ‘feminism’ on Twitter. Or, when this was set, only 15 per cent of the male population over 21 had the vote. Yet everything on the news at the moment is apathy towards politics. If we can slip in these little triggers that make people think a bit, then a little bit of artistic licence is valid.
