Phoebe Waller-Bridge to stream Fleabag play online
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is bringing her hit Fleabag play online for streaming at home. 

The show, from which the hit Fleabag TV show originated from, was a sell-out in London’s West End and is now being broadcast online to raise money for victims of COVID-19.

The one-woman show is a darkly comedic account of “some sort of woman living her sort of life”.

When it first debuted in 2013, it won a Fringe First award at Edinburgh Fringe. Waller-Bridge went on to adapt the play into a two-season TV show, which picked up an Emmy award for Best Comedy, as well as a BAFTA and Golden Globe award.

All the proceeds from the online streaming will go towards charities including the National Emergencies Trust, NHS Charities Together and Acting for Others.

In addition, there will be a special Fleabag Support Fund which will go towards freelancers in the UK theatre industry.

Waller-Bridge says she hopes this filming of Fleabag “can help raise money while providing a little theatrical entertainment in these isolated times,” she shares.

“All money raised will support the people throughout our society who are fighting for us on the frontlines and those financially devastated by the crisis, including those in the theatre community. Thank you in advance to those who donate. Now go get into bed with Fleabag! It’s for charity!”

Where to watch?

Fleabag the play will be available for two weeks from April 10 in Australia, New Zealand and Canada on Soho theatre On Demand.

It is already available in the UK and Ireland on Soho and on Amazon Prime Video for the US and UK.

It will be available for a 48-hour download for £4 with the option to donate more.
