The second, and final, series of Fleabag has been one of the biggest TV hits of the year. If you're still mourning the end of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's dark comedy masterpiece, though, there's respite in sight: you will be able to get your fill in Dubai at the Courtyard Playhouse this November.

Before it was adapted into a hit TV series, Fleabag started life as a one-woman stage show in 2013, written by and starring Waller-Bridge. Earlier this year, the writer and actress brought the show back to London's West End for 30 performances, following a sold-out run in New York.

If you weren't lucky enough to catch the show live at London's Soho Theatre, a recording of the play is being shown in Dubai next month.

Watch the trailer for the 'Fleabag' stage show here:

Directed by Vicky Jones, the stage show tells the story of Fleabag, an "unfiltered and self-obsessed" thirtysomething, as she tries to navigate love, family relationships and adulthood. The show has been described as a "rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life". The New Yorker described it as a "legitimately hilarious show".

Brought to Dubai by Britain's National Theatre Live, there will be screenings on Friday, November 29 and Saturday, November 30.
