Fleabag

I saw it Atqui - not sure of your reaction - did you hate it?

I certainly didnt like it, (;especially the cruelty to animals) , but it was thought provoking- that someone should have such low self esteem that she was anyone’s. Well - that was my take on it

The young women in our row obviously thought it was hilarious,but there was no such thing as sexting in our youth was there (Thank goodness)

What did you think Lisagran. It seems no one else saw it!

I didn't see the live stream but LOVED the TV series. I watched it on iPlayer while living in China and even one of my Chinese students had seen it and loved it.

It's very contemporary. We are not its target audience.

I loved the tv series, two. I think. Looking forward to the film.

I didn't see it, but a friend, who is a theatre critic, did. He said it was excellent!

I only saw some of it on TV and thought it was rather dull!!
I did think at the time that it might be better on stage though.

“On stage”, it’s not a film or a play - it’s a one-woman (Phoebe W-B) stand up show, recorded live in London. I went with my 3 daughters. I thought most of it was very funny, but I also thought that much of it let the #MeToo campaign down. Some of it was very poignant.

PWB is an amazing writer and actor.
I love the raw honesty of Fleabag, it’s terribly sad and very poignant.

Oh, OK lisagran thank you.
...I did think it would make a play however.

Bit too much in a middle/upper class bubble for me,both the writer and the writing.

Sadly I didn't see the live stream. I absolutely loved the tv series. Some of the best writing I've seen for some time. ????

I saw it with my man - it was brilliant - cycling though funny, shocking, poignant and very sad - extremely skilled writing and very enjoyable.

@Lisagran - I hear what you are saying about #MeToo - but that was kind of the point. How did young women get to this?

I’m a nanna and I felt it resonate, so I’m think all women are the play’s target audience, either as a retrospective look back or as a current situation.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and so did my partner. It was great to see the original as opposed to the TV programme version.

Loved the TV series and so watched the live stream. I thought she was amazing, her facial expressions etc but the content became a little boring around half way through. Strangely enough I thought the funniest part was about not mentioning/mentioning her sisters hairstyle and not about sex.

I'm afraid this is the modern way of connecting with people and has been ever since the 'let it all hang out' sixties.

The younger generation doesn't see sex in the same way and I feel they've lost something. Romance? It's all rather sad.

My daughter and her DH went to see it and loved it. I had never seen it so decided to watch some past issues in I player I quite liked it.

I enjoyed it and thought her acting was brilliant-those facial expressions! I found the second series more poignant and far less shocking. My daughter said she was a little uncomfortable watching it whilst sitting next to her dad!

As I said , I haven’t watched the tv show , and I wondered if it ( tv series) was less ‘raw’ than the original ( I believe the play was based on the original Fringe version , pre #me too, and 6 years ago.
