A new show from the producer of Fleabag will be premiering at a theatre near Teddington this autumn.

Leopards, a thriller exploring issues of sex, power and consent, will be performed at The Rose Theatre just over the bridge in Kingston from 2 to 25 September.

The play kicks of the Rose's 21-22 season, its first since the pandemic and the debut for Artistic Director Christopher Haydon.

Excitingly, it is co-produced by Francesca Moody Productions (FMP), a team led by Francesca Moody who is the original producer of the smash-hit Phoebe Waller-Bridge show.
