THE UNFRIEND
9th – 14th February 2026
Dying of manners?
Join us for an evening of uproarious comedy and cringeworthy farce in this new play by award-winning writer, Steven Moffat (Doctor Who, Sherlock).
At the end of their holiday, Peter and Debbie reluctantly agree to stay in touch with their newly-met American cruise-friend, Elsa. However, when she later invites herself to stay they look her up online and discover the deadly truth surrounding this powerful, extravagant woman. Chaos and hysteria ensue as the couple attempt to protect their family and their comfortable lives without seeming rude.
Take a hilarious look at middle-class England’s perennial struggle to keep up appearances, all to avoid social embarrassment.
