The Flea is a play by James Fritz that retells the Cleveland Street Scandal, which shook England in 1889. The play features a flea, a horse, a detective, a queen, a pimp, a god, and Charlie, the telegraph boy who knelt before the Crown. It was first performed at The Yard Theatre in London in October 2023, directed by Artistic Director Jay Miller. Fritz's work pairs structural playfulness with emotional intelligence and inky wit, and his plays are contained and compassionate, finding reservoirs of humour in unexpected places. The Stage praised the play for its "anarchic and affecting" nature, and Fritz's work has been described as "slick and unsettling" and "contained and compassionate."
