It was the courtroom drama that gripped the nation - and now the real-life events of the "Wagatha Christie trial" as it came to be known have been turned into an acclaimed play. And after a run on London's West End, the show is heading out on a UK tour in the spring.
The show, Vardy v Rooney: The Wagatha Christie Trial, uses real court transcripts as footballers wives Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney faced off in court. It heads to Salford's Lowry Theatre from June 9-11 and will also visit theatres in Liverpool, Woking, Southend and Brighton.
From sting operations to sensational headlines, this verbatim production reveals what went on behind closed doors in the case that turned social media sleuthing into high drama. Audiences can see first-hand, and in the words of Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney, how the extraordinary week in court played out.
