Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge helped her close pal Elizabeth Day launch a book about friendship last night.
On stage at the Southbank, the pair told how they met on a trip to Las Vegas in 2014 organised by the British American Project, and have been close ever since. Waller-Bridge has used scenes inspired by Day’s life in Fleabag. Journalist Day called herself a “recovering friendaholic” who was addicted to the “adrenaline hit” of meeting someone new. Citing Cicero, she said she now advocates “a trial period of friendship”, just like in dating.
