Vardy v Rooney: The Wagatha Christie Trial

A story stranger than fiction that blurs the boundaries of tabloid scoop, court case and soap opera, The Wagatha Christie Trial explores privacy and celebrity in modern Britain.

On 9 October 2019, Coleen Rooney publicly accused Rebekah Vardy of selling stories about her to The Sun. The four words "It's.......... Rebekah Vardy's account" sent shockwaves across British and global press. Nobody could have expected the social media scandal to grow so large.

On 10 May 2022, the "Wagatha Christie" trial commenced. Over seven days, the libel court case saw Vardy and Rooney remark on each other's lives, with much of it documented heavily in the press.

Only a handful of people witnessed what happened behind the closed doors of this footballers’ wives drama and now you can too in this hilarious (and slightly tacky) court room comedy!

You'll be on the edge of your seat as you relive the high-profile case, filled with drama, intrigue, and scandal.

Vardy V Rooney: The Wagatha Christie Trial was first performed at the Wyndham’s Theatre in the West End in 2022 before a UK and Ireland tour.
