Fleabag by Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Following a highly acclaimed, five star, sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Fleabag comes to Soho Theatre - a hilarious bittersweet one-woman show by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, one of our very brightest upcoming talents (Evening Standard). Waller-Bridge has crafted some great gags - often genuinely affronting - and director Vicky Jones keeps them funny... Troubling, visceral and - most of all - pressing, Fleabag is a daring debut that makes up its own rules. I've never seen a play quite like it (The Scotsman). This naughty, sharp-edged and funny festival favourite is a must see from DryWrite who are now a Soho Theatre Associate Company.

This is a rip-roaring account of a twenty-something female struggling with being a woman today. Welcome to the world of Fleabag where the rules are out the window and she’s getting confused. We are always told to be ourselves but in an over-sexualised culture riddled with contradictions a little fleabag can get lost. Is there a risk we are becoming a numb generation, apathetic about modern sexual relationships? She’s angry, pervy, confrontational, cruel, forgetful, unforgiving, flippant, capricious, but undeniably honest. For one hour only, Fleabag lets us see the world through her eyes as we follow her journey through life, love, loss and heartbreak. It may not be pretty but it's funny as hell. This is comedy story-telling at its very best with all the unspoken nitty-gritty of real life.

She’s … bitchy to a degree, and keen to see some action. Ironically, she’s rooted to the spot, and her appetite for life is tainted by a healthy distaste for the physical effort required (The Independent). Fleabag is an anti-heroine; this is the portrait of a girl who isn’t afraid to admit what she thinks is wrong with her. It’s like meeting a friend for an up-close and personal chat.
