With extra content from Phoebe Waller-Bridge

A  new playbook of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s award-winning Fleabag  is to be released to coincide with the show’s upcoming West End run.

Published on 29 August – nine days after Waller-Bridge starts her one-woman run at   London’s Wyndham’s Theatre – the special edition book will feature the original script, never-before-seen colour photos, and exclusive bonus content by Waller-Bridge, director Vicky Jones and key members of the creative team. It is introduced by stand-up  and Guilty Feminist host Deborah Frances-White.

Nick Hern Books first published Fleabag in September 2013, immediately following its award-winning premiere at that year’s Edinburgh Fringe. The play went on to enjoy two runs at London’s Soho Theatre and national and international tours, before being adapted for TV in 2016.

Matt Applewhite, managing director of Nick Hern Books, said: ‘We’re very excited to publish this new edition of Phoebe’s outrageously funny, blazingly forthright play, which will give Fleabag’s millions of fans a chance to celebrate its incredible journey from fringe theatre hit to international cultural phenomenon.

‘When we first published Fleabag, six years ago now, it had only just started out on that path, but even then we knew it was something very special indeed. So it’s been wonderful to watch it grow into the worldwide success it is today. We’re proud to list Phoebe amongst our authors, and hope readers enjoy this new edition of her play.’
