Power Play Reading Club

Join your fellow LPTW'ers to read and analyze plays book club style. Have opportunities to attend theater together! Meeting virtually!

In January, we are reading Fleabag by Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
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 café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose. 

Originally performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2013, this one woman show moved to the National Theater in London in 2019 and became a hit BBC/Amazon television series based on the character. 

Members will have an opportunity to immediately attend a screening of the recorded performance from the National Theatre on February 4 at Symphony Space. 

We encourage you to get your scripts early. Fleabag is available at:
