SUMMARY:NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE SCREENING: FLEABAG SAT 22 AUG 2026
DESCRIPTION:Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag\, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones \nFleabag 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 cinemas to the big screen this summer. \nFleabag 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. \nThe hilarious\, award-winning play that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag\, was filmed live on stage in London’s West End in 2019. \nPresented by DryWrite\, Soho Theatre and Annapurna Theatre. \n  \n★★★★★ ‘Witty\, filthy and supreme.’ Guardian \n★★★★★ ‘The theatrical event of the autumn\, perhaps even the year.’ Broadway World \n★★★★★ ‘a triumphant return for Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s hilarious\, relatable and painful one-woman show.’ The Stage \n  \nWatch the trailer HERE
