ADA – °µĶųTV SCREENS wraps its fall season with ā€œFleabagā€, the hilarious, award-winning, one-woman show that inspired the hit BBC/Netflix series starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

ā€œFleabagā€ airs at 7 p.m. Tuesday, December 3, at the Raymond J. Estep Multimedia Center in the Bill S. Cole University Center. The recorded live production is open to the public and tickets are $10 for community members. Tickets for °µĶųTV students are $5.

Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (ā€œKilling Eveā€), ā€œFleabagā€ is a rip-roaring look at ā€œsome sort of womanā€ living her ā€œsort of life.ā€ Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig cafĆ© struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.

Playing to sold-out audiences in New York and London, the New Yorker deems ā€œFleabagā€ a ā€œlegitimately hilarious show.ā€ Other reviewers agree that Phoebe Waller-Bridge is ā€œfunny, vibrant and blunt as a hammerheadā€ (New York Magazine), and her storytelling is ā€œquirky and originalā€ (Guardian).

The runtime for ā€œFleabagā€ is 67 minutes. The BBFCA has given the production a rating of 15 – higher than ā€œPG-13ā€ but not an ā€œRā€ rating – as the play contains strong language, sexual references, and references to sexual harassment.

NT Live is the National Theatre’s groundbreaking project to broadcast the best of British theatre to cinemas around the world. °µĶųTV SCREENS will open its spring season with ā€œThe Tragedy of King Richard the Secondā€ on January 17, 2020.
