Phoebe Waller-Bridge returns to the West End stage with Fleabag

Fleabag started out as a one-woman show at Edinburgh Fringe and the Soho Theatre in 2013, before being adapted into a Bafta-winning television series airing on BBC3 and BBC1.

The television series boasted the likes of Olivia Colman, Andrew Scott, Kristin Scott-Thomas and Fiona Shaw among its cast.

Waller-Bridge's forthcoming London shows come hot on the heels of a run of performances to a sold-out run in New York.

Alongside the success of Fleabag, Waller-Bridge created and wrote the first season of the BBC’s Killing Eve, which was nominated for an Emmy, Golden Globe and 15 Baftas.

Fleabag the play is written by Waller-Bridge and directed by her creative collaborator Vicky Jones.

The stage production will show at the Wyndham’s Theatre in London for a strictly limited four-week run from 20th August to the 14th September.

Waller-Bridge said of the announcement: “Looooonddddooooonn!!”
