Phoebe Waller-Bridge to appear at the Southbank Centre to mark publication of Fleabag scripts

Phoebe Waller-Bridge will make a special appearance at the Southbank Centre later this year.

The Emmy award-winning star has signed up to appear at the Royal Festival Hall to mark the publication of her book, Fleabag: The Scriptures.

The 34-year-old Killing Eve creator will be in conversation with comedian and writer Deborah Frances-White.

Waller-Bridge first conceived the idea of Fleabag following a challenge from Frances-White to do a 10-minute slot at her stand-up, storytelling night.

She later turned Fleabag into a one-woman play in Edinburgh and then the award-winning TV series.

Published later this month, Fleabag: The Scriptures features never-before-seen stage directions from the BBC series, filming scripts and Waller-Bridge's new writing.

The event is part of Southbank Centre's 2019 autumn literature programme, which also includes Dame Julie Andrews, Malorie Blackman, Hillary Clinton, Richard Dawkins, Sir Lenny Henry, Nadiya Hussain and Louis Theroux.

The in-conversation event takes place on Sunday December 8. Tickets go on sale to Southbank Centre members on November 7 and to the general public on November 8. Fleabag: The Scriptures is published on November 12.
