This Scene in Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Play Never Made it Into 'Fleabag'
Fleabag, written by and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, is a masterclass of theater. Another classic released for streaming by The National Theatre, which is responsible for the best theatrical productions made accessible for all, Fleabag is arguably one of the best one-person shows ever made. Insanely well-written, intimate, hilarious yet sometimes heart-wrenching, it's no surprise that it also turned into one of the best television shows of all time.
This is, at least in this writer's opinion, one of the biggest departures from play to screen. Bus Rodent , known as Tube Rodent in the play, mistakes Hilary for a rat and kicks it, leaving her severely injured. The next day, Fleabag sees her suffering from her wounds, and out of guilt or a dark kind of mercy, kills her by slowly crushing her in her hand. This is the lowest point in the show, and leaves the audience in shock, because at this point and after, Fleabag has lost everything.
Fleabag Is One of Many TV Anti-Heroes Lest we forget, Fleabag is not a good person, not in the first season anyway. Or at least, she's a person who makes very bad, very harmful decisions for both herself and especially for those around her. She torments her boyfriend Harry to the point where he leaves her, after which she just moves on to someone else straight away. She can't seem to accept that her father has moved on and loves someone else.
This is the fine line a lot of prestige shows are walking these days, a new generation of television anti-heroes. Gone are the days of The Sopranos and Breaking Bad, where the audience is essentially taken on a ride-along with protagonists who are doing very explicitly bad, and often illegal things. Where the writers somehow coerce our support and actively make us hate those trying to stop them, with apologies to Skylar White.
