This is the second play in our 2025/2026 Season - themed "DYING WITH LAUGHTER" is

THE UNFRIEND by Steven Moffat, directed by Caroline Burr.

​​

While on holiday, Elsa befriends Peter and Debbie.  She is less than woke but quite wonderful! 

They agree to stay in touch (why not?) because no one ever really does - do they?                       

This play is about what happened when Elsa shows up at their door…

​

The Unfriend takes a hilarious and satirical look at middle-class England’s disastrous instinct always to appear to be nice.

​​​Press Quotes

'Steven Moffat has skilfully crafted one of the funniest plays to be seen on stage in a very long time... pure comedy gold... a comedy of manners that niftily speeds along and is full of outrageous humour... never anything except laugh-out-loud funny... a killer comedy to die for'

WhatsOnStage

'Effortlessly entertaining... The action is line-by-line funny and an apt commentary on English middle-class manners... Moffat may be the new Ayckbourn'

Telegraph

'A hilarious dark comedy of good manners... a tour de force of toilet farce, proper gut-busting stuff'

The Stage

'A much-needed, riotous bit of fun... an uproarious comedy of English embarrassment... a delight'                Evening Standard
