A production of the recent court case nicknamed ‘Wagatha Christie’ is set to come to The Lowry for three nights.
‘Vardy V Rooney: The Wagatha Christie Trial’ is adapted into a theatrical production from seven days of High Court transcripts, from the Rebekah Vardy vs Coleen Rooney court case of 2022.
Showing sting operations and sensationalised headlines, Wagatha Christie reveals what went on behind closed doors, and blew up social media.
The verbatim production opened last November at the Wyndham’s Theatre where it played to packed houses and standing ovations.
Transcripts were adapted by Liv Hennessey, finalist in the Paines Plough’s Women’s Prize for Playwriting, and directed by Lisa Spirling, artistic director of Theatre503.
Reprising their roles will be Lucy May Barker (Mamma Mia!, West End; Pine Hampstead Theatre) as Rebekah Vardy and Laura Dos Santos (Yes So I Said Yes, Finborough Theatre; My White Best Friend, Liverpool Everyman).
The play received four stars from The Times, Daily Mail and Time Out, with Evening Standard describing it as “Laugh out loud funny and surprisingly thoughtful.”
Vardy v Rooney: The Wagatha Christie Trial will play The Lowry, Salford from Friday 9th to Sunday 11th June 2023. For more information, visit The Lowry website.
