Fleabag: The Scriptures - Phoebe Waller-Bridge - Google Books

Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s critically acclaimed, utterly unique series Fleabag took 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. Go deeper into the groundbreaking, Golden Globe and Emmy-winning series with this must-have collection—“a completist’s dream of a book, including the show’s full scripts and Waller-Bridge’s commentary” ( Vogue). Bottom line: What is there to say? Watch Fleabag. Read this. Or don't and be substantially less happy than you could be otherwise. See if I care.Fleabag’s scripts – like the series – are pretty minimalist on the whole, keeping the jokes punchy and the action to-the-point. But there are some witty observations that help clarify a joke, or a story beat.. A crowd at an art exhibition “applaud lightly in a very British way”. One of the Godmother’s paintings features “a large orgasmic splodge of colour”. And, when Fleabag spots Felicity the cat walking down the street in series one, she sees “a new queen of London.” Series 2 of Fleabag was punctuated with moments of genius (Photo: BBC) 9. Andrew Scott took Waller-Bridge to a real Quaker meeting Fleabag was never meant to have a Godmother. But after Olivia Colman, the now-Oscar-winning actor known for her acclaimed turns in Peep Show and Broadchurch, came to see the stage play, she told its creator and star that she would appear in anything she wanted. Waller-Bridge leapt at the chance, and immediately amended the end of the pilot script to incorporate a part for Colman. 8. There are extra details in the stage directions

Fleabag: The Scriptures – everything we know about the book Fleabag: The Scriptures – everything we know about the book

Shot of Fleabag a few steps away from the door, watching itas if she’s ready to pounce. Smudged makeup, hair tousled. Fleabag: The Scriptures includes new writing from Phoebe Waller-Bridge alongside the filming scripts and the never-before-seen stage directions from the Golden Globe, Emmy and BAFTA winning series. She looks around and catches the eye of a MAN who is looking at her over his paper. We can only see his eyes. He looks away shyly. She looks at the camera and raises her eyebrows slightly. Hello... Nothing has made me feel more than this show. This is a show. Watch this show. The scriptures is a very fitting name for this, my comedy bible forever and ever amen. It has a tiny guinea pig and a fox on it. The perfect way to cleanse my brain heart and soul from those goddawful romance novels. And then the next morning, you wake to find him fully dressed, sat on the side of the bed, gazing at you...The third thing is books, and, in case you are somehow, mercifully new here, I don't like those too often either. The cast of Fleabag are no strangers to late-in-the-day rewrites (Olivia Colman “often had new lines whispered to her mid-scene”), but Brett Gelman, who plays Claire’s misogynistic husband Martin, managed something truly special. After reading over Martin’s final speech in the car before shooting, Waller-Bridge decided to completely rewrite it – with 11 minutes to spare. Gelman had just 30 seconds to learn it before delivering it over and over again on-camera, where it was met with a round of applause each time. 3. Waller-Bridge seems to find the Priest just as hot as everybody else does
