THE UNFRIEND
By Steven Moffat
The Nonentities Society – Main House (A)
While on holiday, Peter and Debbie befriend Elsa: a lusty, Trump-loving widow from Denver, USA. She's less than woke but kind of wonderful. They agree to stay in touch – because no one ever really does, do they?
When Elsa invites herself to stay a few months later, they decide to look her up online. Too late, they learn the truth about Elsa Jean Krakowski. Deadly danger has just boarded a flight to London! But how do you protect all that you love from mortal peril without seeming, well, a bit impolite? Because guess who's coming... to murder!
Steven Moffat's play The Unfriend takes a hilarious and satirical look at middle-class England's disastrous instinct always to appear nice. It was first performed at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, in 2022, before transferring to London's West End – first to the Criterion Theatre, then to Wyndham's – in 2023.
Moffat is well-known for his TV scripts for Dr Who and Sherlock – rest assured you’re in for a treat.
The Nonentities are joined by actors from KRYPT, our youth group, to provide that teenage authenticity to the family group!
An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
WARNING: This play contains some adult language which some patrons might find offensive.
