We’re very excited to reveal that actor Stevie Webb will be joining the US premiere of Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible is Going to Happen.The production runs at Studio Theatre, Washington DC from 4 June to 12 July 2026.
Feeling Afraid… began life at Roundabout at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2022, where it won a Fringe First, before transferring to the Bush Theatre in London in 2023. Last year the show toured Australia, running at Arts Centre Melbourne, Adelaide Festival, and Sydney Opera House. With this international trajectory, Feeling Afraid… follows in the footsteps of other recent FMP shows including the Olivier-nominated Weather Girl, which recently played St Ann’s Warehouse in New York and Tim Crouch’s An Oak Tree at Avignon Festival and Festival International Bergen.
Stevie is best known for his performance in the second cast of the original production of The History Boys, and recently starred in the Olivier-nominated musical Shucked at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. His other credits include the UK tour of the Dolly Parton musical Here You Come Again, a long stint in the West End run of The Book of Mormon, and many productions at the Lyric Hammersmith, including seven shows in Sean Holmes’ creative ensemble Secret Theatre.
Stevie said: “After over three decades as an actor, I’ve always dreamed of performing in the States. Not only is that dream finally coming true, but Feeling Afraid will also mark the fortieth show of my career. […] It feels like a full circle moment reuniting with Francesca Moody Productions. About fifteen years ago, Francesca produced four short-form comedy musicals that I appeared in. We performed under a tent in the middle of a wet field in England. And now, here we are, bringing this extraordinary play to the U.S. capitol.”
