    About this ebook

    ‘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.

    ‘Believe the hype, Waller-Bridge’s raw writing… really is as good as everyone says’ - The Stage

    'Sucker-punch funny... I've never seen a play quite like it' - Scotsman

    'frank and sometimes brutally funny... devastatingly good' - The Times

    'blessed with a rare and compelling life force... deliciously dirty and scabrously funny' - Evening Standard

      Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a gift to comedy and tragedy. To combine such opposing forces in such a powerful way is only rivaled by Shakespeare. Fleabag the act and later the TV show have completely rewritten the way I see the relationship between author and audience.
