A DOUBLE EPISODE: Fleabag One Woman Show and Recap of Vicky Jones’ Premiere of Run*** Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s original one woman stage show of Fleabag was released to the public for the first time on streaming services to support COVID relief organizations! Talk about silver linings!!!*** Kate and Carinn compare and contrast the TV series and the play, then tie it together with the premiere of Run, Vicky Jones’ new show on HBO. (1:47)*** There are a lot of similarities between the Fleabag one woman stage show and the TV series. (3:14)*** What stood out for us, though, were the differences. The play was very British, seemed tonally crueler, sadder, and heavier and there were some characters and storylines we missed. Do you know what bap is???(5:54)*** The stripped down one woman show also produces some vulnerable, dramatic moments that we don’t get in the TV series. Sometimes theatre produces a different kind of magic. (15:06) *** The ending of the one woman show is one notable place where it diverges from the TV show and we are conflicted on the fate of Hillary the guinea pig and what that says about Fleabag. (19:20)*** The play was groundbreaking at the time it premiered in 2013, for sure. But would we have found Fleabag to have been too unlikeable? (24:55)*** What did we take away from watching this? Carinn is so impressed with the evolution of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s work and the fact that the re-imagining of Fleabag was a long haul. Kate is impressed with Phoebe’s acting chops. (28:07)*** We transition to introducing Run, Vicky Jones’ brand new “rom-dram” for HBO. Carinn loves the theme of running away together and Kate loves it for the theme of the one that got away (36:25)*** Carinn worries about the joke from Vicky that last year Phoebe "became famous and I became a mother." She hopes Jenny Robins is making this a threesome rather than a love triangle for our favorite creative partners and besties (42:32)*** Run recap. Listen to our initial feelings on the premiere of Run and whether we’re in for the season. (hint: YES). (47:18)*** Kate insists we need a pact like RUN, but Carinn suggests they already have one: everytime she texts Kate, "I have an idea," and Kate texts back, "I'm in!"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
