Compare these picks from the full collection. Formats, characters and estimated durations are listed with each scene.
Fleabag: asking someone to take charge
The Series 2, Episode 4 monologue builds a list of decisions Fleabag wants someone else to make. Choose it to explore how an apparently ordinary request becomes a much larger admission of uncertainty.
Try in rehearsal: Give each new request a reason to follow the last. Try persuading the listener to give you an answer, rather than deciding in advance where to become emotional.
The Priest: a public speech with personal stakes
The wedding speech begins with the painful effects of love before moving toward hope. It offers a different speaker and audience from Fleabag’s private plea, with room to work on humor, conviction and a change of thought.
Try in rehearsal: Make the opening useful to the people listening. Find the thought that gives you a reason to continue toward hope, rather than adding warmth from the first line.
Fleabag and Claire: rivalry over lunch
A simple sandwich order becomes a way for the sisters to challenge each other. This exchange gives both actors a practical task while questions about success, control and the café make each reply more pointed.
Try in rehearsal: Keep trying to complete the order. Let a specific word from your partner provoke the next jab, then return to the task as if nothing happened.
Fleabag and the Bank Manager: accepting kindness
This café conversation starts with a misunderstanding about guinea pigs and moves toward a more personal disclosure. It is a different situation from the initial loan interview: choose it to explore a guarded relationship becoming more sympathetic.
Try in rehearsal: For Fleabag, try to keep the conversation about the business until that becomes difficult. For the Manager, listen before offering reassurance; let what you hear change your response.
For Fleabag’s plea, give the unseen listener a clear place in the room and wait for the response you need. For the wedding speech, decide when you are addressing everyone and when a thought becomes personal. In the duologues, agree on the practical task before rehearsing: making lunch or discussing the café. Let the relationship emerge through that task.
