Fleabag

By Phoebe Waller-Bridge Directed by Vicky Jones Starring Maddie Rice

Wed 30 May – Sat 2 June 7.45pm Following the BAFTA award-winning BBC series, DryWrite and Soho Theatre bring you the acclaimed stage production of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s cult hit.

Fleabag may seem over-sexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig themed café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.

Stumbling through a maze of social anxiety, disastrous job interviews and meaningless sex, Fleabag serves up an uproariously funny and true account of some sort of a female living her sort of life. ★★★★★ ‘Sucker punch funny…I’ve never seen a play quite like it.’
