Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag to be livestreamed as fundraiser
The show, which played a sold-out run at London’s Wyndham’s theatre, is being streamed online to raise money for those affected by Covid-19
• Hottest front-room seats: the best theatre and dance to watch online
• The best arts and entertainment during self-isolation
It was one of 2019’s hottest theatre shows, returning Phoebe Waller-Bridge to the stage in her most famous role and swiftly selling out in London’s West End. Now, the triumphant live production of Fleabag at Wyndham’s theatre – which has already been broadcast to cinemas by NT Live – is being streamed online to raise money for those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
All proceeds will go towards charities including the National Emergencies Trust, NHS Charities Together and Acting for Others, which provides support to all theatre workers in times of need. There will also be a special Fleabag Support Fund, which will distribute grants of £2,500 to freelancers working in the UK theatre industry.
