Phoebe Waller-Bridge says she often refrains from showing her partner, director Martin McDonagh, her work. “If you show someone something, and you fancy them, it can become this blur.”
During the pandemic, Waller-Bridge comforted herself by plunging back into the game, so it seemed like kismet when Amazon asked her if she’d be interested in developing a series. “God, it literally felt like that teenager in me saying: Do right by her, do right by Lara!” she says. “The opportunity to have, as we were talking earlier, a female action character…. Having worked on Bond and having worked as an actor onI feel like I’ve been building up to this.
The world embraced Waller-Bridge on the basis of her own totally idiosyncratic vision. I ask if she hesitates to participate in our endlessly recycling culture of reboots and remakes. “I feel like when you’re working in the industry, you’ve got to ride the waves and lean in,” she tells me. “There’s room to do something really quite dangerous. And if I can do something dangerous and exciting withI already have an audience of people who love Lara and hopefully will continue to.
We dip back into conversation despite the noise, and Waller-Bridge very politely leans down mere inches from the tabletop, the better to funnel her voice directly into my recorder. I ask about her relationship with Amazon, which she says remains tight, though, sinceshe’s brought nothing to air for them under two consecutive deals. Waller-Bridge dropped out of the streamer’s high-profileseries, in which she was set to star alongside Donald Glover.
She squinches her eyes when I ask if she’s a perfectionist. Turns out it’s a word she despises. “Happy to be called” she suggests jovially. “What I look for in something is that little bit of electricity, of danger or saying something, doing something that hasn’t been done before. If I don’t feel that, I can plow and plow and plow, I just won’t make it.
After graduating from RADA, Waller-Bridge watched her fellow alumni rise up the theater and film ranks while she scrambled to get work. She made her proper stage debut in the 2009 play’s future Hot Priest, Andrew Scott. “I remember her being immediately charismatic and extremely comedically gifted—just a really courageous sort of person,” Scott says, his voice full of affection.
