About Fleabag
Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Following a box-office record-breaking run in cinemas in 2019, the one-woman show returns to the big screen this summer.
Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered, and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose. The hilarious, award-winning play that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag was captured live on stage from London’s West End in 2019. Presented by DryWrite, Soho Theatre, and Annapurna Theatre.

"Not only is it the inception of [Waller-Bridge's] fabulous career, but it stands as something of a manifesto for the work she does: funny, tragic, and totally honest despite the cost." — Meghan O'Keefe, Decider
"The stage version, the one recorded for posterity here, succeeds primarily as a performance showcase for Waller-Bridge. She’s a fabulous actor and a true stage animal, with a wonderfully expressive voice." — Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
"The material is so good and enduring, even those familiar with the series will find themselves laughing as if they were hearing it all for the first time." — Peter Sobczynski, eFilmCritic.com
