Fleabag: The Scriptures Hardcover – 26 Nov. 2019

Great gift, beautiful cover. Came in great time.

I happened upon Fleabag, the series, I suspect like everybody else. I’d become obsessed with the first series of Killing Eve (on which Phoebe Waller-Bridge was show-runner) and when I recognised her name and saw a trailer for Fleabag, I loved her reactions to camera right off the bat.In Fleabag: The Scriptures, we find the full scripts for both seasons, including opening shots, looks to camera, and those gloriously heartbreaking flashbacks with best friend, Boo. I loved the development of the relationships between Fleabag, her sister, Claire, and stepmother, Godmother.I highlighted so many scenes in this kindle edition, but the line that stopped my heart when I first heard it, and practically choked me from the page, was this one from series two, episode two, where Fleabag is talking to the counsellor her father has got her a voucher for as a birthday present.(Fleabag is, of course, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the Counsellor is played by Fiona Shaw. Brace yourselves.)FLEABAGCan you just tell me what to do?COUNSELLORYou know.(beat)You already know what you’re going to do. Everybody does.FLEABAGWhat?COUNSELLORYou’ve already decided what you’re going to do.64% in, Fleabag: The Scriptures, Series Two, Episode TwoI nearly died.Having seen the series, more than once, I could hear the characters and see the cast in my head as I was reading, but there are so many great and witty lines - the line about pine nuts had me in hysterics - that I felt the story and the characters really captured something of the world we live in as modern women in a Britain that would still rather not talk about things.Love, love, love.

There was nothing at all that I could complain about. Brilliant scriptures which add so much more depth to the show through stage directions. Incredible quality with a gorgeous cover and really quick delivery. Absolutely brilliant!!

Excellent book for anyone interested in any aspect of creative writing

Absolutely fantastic. Didn't expect it to be word for word like the show (rather obtusely as it is literally the script) but everything is so vivid and perfectly brilliant and heartwarming. If you love the show this is the perfect way to have Fleabag live on. If you haven't seen the show, this is a fantastic introduction. It's also incredibly cool to see how a script is put together, not your normal read.

I was excited for this to arrive and had ordered it despite some damming reviews. Like others have said it did arrive with some glue on the cover but luckily it was for myself, I wouldn’t have felt comfortable giving it as a gift in the state it arrived.

I have never loved a TV show more than I love fleabag and the scriptures are absolutely amazing. The cover is gorgeous, the writing is brilliant. I really would recommend

Hilarious! Good quality and arrived on time
