It’s Not Too Late to Watch Fleabag With Additional Screenings at Greenbelt
Watch the stage play that inspired the hit TV series.
(SPOT.ph) ICYMI: The best of British theater will be available to Filipinos through the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ exclusive cinema screenings via National Theatre Live in Makati City.
Among the pre-recorded live performances is Fleabag, the hilarious, award-winning play that inspired the BBC’s hit television series of the same name. The one-woman show is played by the talented Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who is this hypersexual, emotionally unfiltered, and self-obsessed coffee shop owner who has nothing to lose.
Initially, the CCP only released one show time for each of the 10 plays, but the overwhelming demand for Fleabag has resulted in four additional shows, all of which are now sold out. Now Fleabag is offering several more screenings at 5:45 p.m., 7:45 p.m., 9:45 p.m., and 10 p.m. on October 31 at Greenbelt 3 for those who are coming from work on Tuesday.
It will only cost P250 to see the show, with a student discount rate of P150. You can reserve seats at Sure Seats right now while tickets are still available.

Beyond Fleabag, here are the other shows by National Theatre Live
Other pre-recorded live performances by National Theatre Live include Life of Pi, The Seagull, Frankenstein, Much Ado About Nothing, The Crucible, Othello, King Lear, and Hamlet for Season One, which are scheduled to run until May 2024.
So far only Life of Pi has come to an end, but the rest of the shows can still be watched on the big screen for the same cost of P250 a seat. Hey, it beats West End's pricing for sure.
