Fleabag: The Scriptures: The Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

Personally, I’d like to also thank Obama for putting us on his list. As some of you may know, he’s always been on mine.” Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s critically acclaimed, utterly unique series Fleabagtook the world by storm with its piercing dialogue, ruthlessly dry wit, and deeply human drama. In Fleabag: The Scriptures,Waller-Bridge brings together for the first time the filming scripts of the first and second seasons, complete with the original stage directions as well as exclusive commentary on her creative process and the making of the series. Now recognized as one of today’s most essential voices, she delivers powerful insights into her now-iconic protagonist: the hilarious, emotionally damaged, sexually unapologetic woman who can make viewers laugh, cry, and cringe in a single scene.

Fleabag helps with an award event at Claire's work, where she discovers Claire's crush on a Finnish colleague, Klare. The event almost ends in disaster but Fleabag manages to salvage the situation. Claire remains angry at her nonetheless. Fleabag has a profound conversation with Claire's co-worker Belinda at a bar. She continues to flirt with the priest, but he remains unwilling to violate his vows of celibacy. In a moment of metafiction, the priest begins to notice Fleabag breaking the fourth wall.

When Fleabag made the surprising and successful transition from one-woman show to TV sitcom, her commentary and asides became looks, winks, and words, direct to the viewers. No fourth wall. Absolutely. It’s not at the expense of men at all, but that’s just who we naturally look to and gravitate towards. There are so many talented women out there, you don’t even have to think about positive discrimination. Who is Fleabag for? For one, it's a certificate 15 in the UK (18 in France), so you're not going to be able to watch it with the little ones. Fleabag includes lots of adult themes, such as female masturbation, but interestingly very little nudity, if at all. The main character, also played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, is a thirty-something living in London: attractive, vulnerable, obsessed about sex in general and casual sexual encounters in particular, close to her anorexic sister (but how can one be close to a person who organises their own surprise birthday party and describes it as a business meeting?), and coming to terms with a close friend's suicide.

Despite this write-up making it sound like a house haunted with miseries, Fleabag is ingenious without preventing itself to have fun. At the end of both the play and the first season, hope is glimpsed through admittance and willing one’s self to finally feel. A theme much more explored in season two where a particular human connection appears without being searched for, Fleabag The Play, together with the series, will definitely be something I will revisit from time to time as life goes on; not only because I see myself out there but it can somehow be a source of comfort as well.

Waller-Bridge told Murray that Fleabag's behaviour in that friendship is "under no circumstances, absolutely not" something she would ever do. When Waller-Bridge first suggested that aspect of the plot to Jones, it provoked a strong reaction from her.

But Waller-Bridge said she let go of being bothered by viewers' assumption that the show was based on her.When I did say that to Jones, the instant I said it we both imagined if that had happened between the two of us and actually how you would survive it," she said. "And to be honest, we probably would survive something like that because we are the greatest love story in each other's life. And we obviously trust each other not to do that sort of thing.
