Fleabag: The Original Play
Fleabag: The Original Play | Phoebe Waller-Bridge
5 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
'I sit on the loo and think about all the people I can have sex with now. I'm not obsessed with sex. I just can't stop thinking about it.' The Fleabag bites back. A rip-roaring account of some sort of female living her sort of life. Phoebe Waller-Bridge's debut play is an outrageously funny monologue for a female performer. It premiered at the 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, performed by Phoebe herself, before transferring to Soho Theatre, London, for several successful runs, followed by a UK tour. It won a Fringe First Award in Edinburgh, the Most Promising New Playwright and Best Female Performance at the Off West End Theatre Awards, The Stage Award for Best Solo Performer and the Critics' Circle Award for Most Promising Playwright. It received a Special Commendation in the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and was nominated for the Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre. In 2016 it was turned into a wildly successful and 'utterly riveting' (Guardian) BBC television series. This edition also features an introduction by the author.

Absolutely cried from both laughter and sadness while reading this script. It‘s better than the show IMO.

Thanks for the tag @Verity 😊💕👍
1. English and I can get by OK in French....
2. ⬆️ I think Phoebe is a bit of a genius!
3. Skipped dinner because I worked a late shift (3pm to midnight at B&N) but lunch was Kale and goat cheese omelette with 1/2 an avocado on the side, so 3 I think (green,white, yellow)
4. 💕😊👍 (see above!)
5. Will do.....

I read this in what felt like a minute. In the forward Phoebe said Fleabag was the result of an exercise to push boundaries with the audience to get certain responses ( disgust, compassions, shock, empathy) and I felt all those things. Someday I hope to be one of the cool kids with Amazon Prime so I can watch it

WhatWouldJaneDo I just finished watching it and it's incredible. I'm definitely going to pick up the play to get more of the origin. Waller-Bridge is so brilliant! I also totally bought the jumpsuit she wears in the second season... 5y
mcctrish @WhatWouldJaneDo oh my, that‘s awesome 😎 5y
readordierachel You might be able to rent it on DVD from your local library? 5y
mcctrish @ReadOrDie that‘s a great idea! I forget all about that now with all the streaming etc.... 5y

I love this answer from Phoebe Waller-Bridge‘s NY Times By the Book column from a few weeks ago. It‘s perfect.

Christine Ooh yes, that‘s great. Love her! 5y
