Fleabag review

The script itself remains genuinely funny but with moments of deep pathos, enhanced by a twist in the tale worthy of the best of short story writers.

Philip Fisher, British Theatre Guide, 29th August 2019

Fleabag review

Something that comes across more starkly in the play is the need of our protagonist and our writer (united in pleasing duality) to know if anyone else feels the way they do about sex: both hopelessly horny and desperately empty.

Laura Foulger, The Upcoming, 29th August 2019

Fleabag is not the only F word on everyone's lips

In a hard-hitting "exclusive" piece of investigative journalism, the Sun has revealed that Phoebe Waller-Bridge uttered a tremendous 33 swear words during her "shockingly filthy stage show", which runs at Wyndham's Theatre in London until September 14.

Fleabag review

Words land with precise comic weight, but also with a relish for their sound, beat and emotion. Each character and situation is exactly encapsulated and what you get on stage - which you didn't on TV - is her vivid mimicry of the people she meets.

Sarah Crompton, What's On Stage, 28th August 2019

Fleabag review

A triumphant return.

Review: Fleabag in West End premiere

The first night, playing to a celebrity-packed audience, felt like a coronation but Waller-Bridge still has the ability to spring surprises.

Michael Billington, The Guardian, 28th August 2019

Fleabag review

Hotter than Potter - the Waller-Bridge stage play that became a televisual masterpiece.

Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph, 28th August 2019

Review - Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag

It's not a "show for posh girls". It's a play about modern life, and its depressions and complexities and things you'd never dream of saying out loud.

Will Longman, London Theatre, 28th August 2019

Phoebe Waller-Bridge in Fleabag in West End: first look

The show returns to London for a limited run.

Alex Wood, What's On Stage, 27th August 2019

Colman wanted her Fleabag character to be a total ****

'I always wanted to play the baddie and she's written a really good one,' actor says.
