Fleabag takes encore for National Theatre Live

Fleabag will return to the big screen as Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed character heads back to cinemas this June.

Written and performed by Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones (Run), Fleabag is described as a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. As with family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.

The production is presented by DryWrite, Soho Theatre and Annapurna Theatre, with set design by Holly Pigott, lighting design by Elliot Griggs and sound design by Isobel Waller-Bridge.

Fleabag started its life on-stage at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2013, winning a Fringe First award that encourages new work. The award-winning play later inspired the BBC’s hit TV series of the same name, and was captured live on stage from London’s West End in 2019.

Fleabag will be broadcast in selected cinemas worldwide from June 15, 2023.
