In a way, it’s maybe the greatest of all the testaments to her genius. This play, which the first season of her tv show is “based” on, is terrific, but the play is just...MORE...(you’ll understand what I mean when you see it.) She wants us to enjoy the work, but also to consider our own prejudices - where they come from, how we act upon them, and to ask why can’t we celebrate the sexual nature of women, celebrate them as creatures of desire just as deserving of seeking sexual satisfaction as a man. Fleabag is about a young woman who owns a guinea pig café, that isn’t making enough to pay the rent, has crumbling relationships with friends and family, and is considering the fact she may have a sex addiction…. Incredibly, she switches so smoothly that you don’t even realise you’re laughing again. In the midst of this social distancing, to be able to watch such a beautiful and funny show, at the same time as helping with a small donation, well it has to be done. Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2020. Fleabag inspired the extremely popular television series (which is available on iPlayer) and is one of my favourites. The National Theatre Live: Fleabag production is a way for fans of the tv series to truly appreciate the show’s origins. It was a wonderful, badly needed, distraction for a good cause. If you've never seen the show, you'll enjoy this. 585 customer ratings. Her direction is astounding; a crafting of Fleabag’s story through precise, breathtaking rhythms and the creation of a world around her that is beautifully subtle but electric and alive (aided by a gorgeous sound design from Isobel Waller-Bridge). 2016, Amazon Prime Video, 6 episodes Anyway, our main chain of cinemas, Caribbean Cinemas, not great cinemas, btw, they have a monopoly and, therefore, no reason to excel, their regular program is lacking everything, you shouldn't even call that a program, but they do offer ballet, opera and theater functions in two of their locations, the ones they call Fine Arts, where they show the same Argentinian movie for four years, yeah, it's a good movie, but come on, well they had Fleabag in their schedule! Streamed live across cinemas in the UK, her one-woman show Fleabag gives its swansong as a limited sell out run at Wyndham’s Theatre in the West End. You can feel her guiding hand, her careful manipulation of the best that Waller-Bridge can be, maintaining the comic tension in order to allow for moments of stillness and silence. Not for the faint-of-heart, Phoebe Waller-Bridge's performance here is so chest-baringly honest, it dares you not to cover your eyes and shrink away. It's funny and dark, expertly performed perfection. Keep up-to-date on your favourite artists and movies, track gig and release dates, and join in the conversation. Yes, earthquakes. You have to watch this play, plus you will be helping! For three weeks only, Fleabag is available to rent for a 48-hour period on Soho Theatre On Demand for various prices - and on Amazon Prime from 10 April. In the series, Fleabag always felt like a real person, but here (even through the lens of a filmed presentation), she feels more real than ever. Then this horrible virus attacked us, humans! So go into this review knowing that. This recent revival of ‘Fleabag’ will likely be the last time Phoebe Waller-Bridge performs her masterful creation on stage. What a gift to be able to see her in this performance. In fact, with no prospect of a third season, we may never see her play the character again. Review: Fleabag (NT Live) After a sold-out run in New York and London, the National Theatre have released their recording of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s hilarious one-woman show, available to rent online to raise money for those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. If you don't like the series you won't like the stage show. However... After viewing product detail pages, look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in. I'm so glad this was made available for screen. Despite the specificity of the narrative and characters, something about watching ‘Fleabag’ always feels deeply personal. For Waller-Bridge, so clearly in love with her creation, that presumed judgement from the audience becomes a commentary on how we perceive and respond to women as sexual beings. She is all our hopes, dreams, fears and desires, regardless of our gender or race or sexuality. A powerful stage adaptation of a cinema classic, ANGELS IN AMERICA: PART ONE - MILLENNIUM APPROACHES, Liam Neeson's double-crossing crime drama, WIN THE SECRET LIFE OF US: THE COMPLETE SERIES, Take home the iconic Australian television drama, Watching the dominos fall in the U.S. pandemic catastrophe, 25 years later, the colours of the wind are fading. Rather than being a conduit for us though, she becomes a symbol for how impossible life can be, how the blows will just keep coming, and how we get up anyway, wipe the mud from our face, put on some clean knickers and just keep going. I recommend this. Religious fervour and psychological horror, Wattpad returns to the screen for slightly better, still dumb, results. This awareness from both character and creator result in moments of breathtaking heartbreak, where line between comedy and tragedy has been sharpened to a fine edge, and we have to dance along its dangerous edge just as much as Fleabag herself. Living far away from any Broadway outlets I never thought I'd get to see the stage version. Also, most of what you pay (70% I believe was stated) is going directly to support Coronovirus charities/the NHS so even if you are a mad person and hate this, at least your money is going to a worthy cause. Critics Consensus: Clever and viciously funny, Fleabag is a touching, wildly inventive comedy about a complicated young woman navigating the aftermath of trauma. 4.6 out of 5. Have watched this twice in less than 24 hours (1st time watched alone, since I’ve put my husband through enough already by watching Fleabag S2 about 20 times now, and with my relentless crush on the gorgeous/talented Andrew Scott, going on for a year now —I “spared” my hubby....at first.) What is revelatory about it is hearing this frank honesty through a female lens. It’s PWB’s world, we’re just living in it. For Fleabag, the awareness of this judgement becomes both a weapon she can wield against us but also one she can wield against herself, often turning it on herself and using it as a way of justifying how little she thinks of herself. I believe anyone, of any age or gender, will be able to relate to this character in one way or another – so if you fancy having a laugh (enjoying the occasional snort without being embarrassed in front of a packed audience), this play is a must. 4.6 out of 5 stars. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is brilliant - I had an off night. This performance is a one woman show of material from the first season of Fleabag. It’s just a woman on a chair, and the intimacy and immediacy that comes with a live body in space only amplifies its impact. Any other performers on stage would be unnecessary. Prime members enjoy FREE Delivery and exclusive access to music, movies, TV shows, original audio series, and Kindle books. Obviously a large majority of the audience won’t have had the good fortune of travelling to see the production in London so the National Theatre Live run is a great way to experience it. What Waller-Bridge and Vicky Jones have created is one of the theatrical events of the century so far. Disabling it will result in some disabled or missing features. She is very entertaining and it is wonderful that she is doing this broadcast as a fundraiser. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is so talented a playwright AND actor, you just can’t help but fall in love with her, her wit and humanity, but most importantly her vulnerability and earnestness.
