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.

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.
