Possibly not in the realm of realistic reconstruction
Okay, I am not the person who is ever going to jump up and down and go 'wheee!' at the prospect of a biopic of James Miranda Barry which promises that it's likely to be heavy on the 'secret forbidden lerrrrv' theme.
But while kudos to Natasha McElhone for getting this project off the ground, she is far too tall to play Barry, who was under 5 ft. (Though I suppose this didn't stop long lean Peter O'Toole playing the diminutive Lawrence of Arabia.)
At least the text of the article (if not the title) makes it clear that JMB was 'the first woman to graduate as a British doctor', rather than the very first to practise medicine or surgery, but the statement is hardly contextualised. (Because the development of professional qualifications and formal medical education and the decline in status of female practitioners over the course of the C18th is not exactly sexy, is it?)
And there have been several biographies and novels and at least one television programme.
Barry is, of course, endlessly fascinating.
Even if what I want from a story about Barry is RPS involving her and Florence Nightingale following their famous spat during the Crimean War ('Mr Barry is no gentleman' - Florence, you said a mouthful), because that is such a meet-cute/initial sparky hostility moment.
