Talk:John Fletcher (playwright)

Beaumont and Fletcher lived together for many years. I don't know whether they were what we'd now call gay, but they were certainly what we'd now call domestic partners. Wetman 09:27, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I'd be interested to know what the evidence is. The version I'm familiar with is that they lived in a ménage à trois with the housekeeper. Such gossip isn't usually found in encyclopedias. 144.138.194.212 11:12, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)

disambiguation?

I was initially expecting "John Fletcher" to (almost) unambiguously mean John Fletcher (Methodist), where the initial author clearly thought John Fletcher (playwright) was the most obvious target.

Google searches for John Fletcher 1579 and John Fletcher 1729 seem to give similar weight to both, suggesting that neither should be given prominence here...

Being fairly new to Wikipedia, what would be involved in moving the content of this page to John Fletcher (playwright), and making this a redirect to John Fletcher (disambiguation)? 213.232.66.5 04:05, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; the theologian is certainly as historically prominent as the playwright. A disambiguation seems to be in order. Any thoughts? KHM03 11:34, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
