A sharp, hilarious and darkly satirical comedy by Steven Moffat comes to Sheffield Library Theatre with The Unfriend.

While on holiday, Peter and Debbie befriend Elsa — a lusty, Trump-loving widow from Denver, USA. They agree to stay in touch. And why not? Because no one ever really does… do they? But when Elsa invites herself to stay a few months later, curiosity turns to alarm, and a frantic online search reveals the unsettling truth about Elsa Jean Krakowski — far too late to stop what’s coming.
What to Expect
Written by the acclaimed writer behind Doctor Who and Sherlock, The Unfriend is a fast-paced and ferociously funny look at modern manners, online identity and the disastrous middle-class instinct to always be polite — no matter the cost.

Expect:
Razor-sharp dialogue and escalating comic tension
Big laughs with a deliciously dark edge
A satirical take on social media, friendship and fear of confrontation
A comedy that balances absurdity with biting social observation
Critically acclaimed for its wit and momentum, the play has been described as:
“Effortlessly entertaining” — The Telegraph
“An uproarious comedy and riotous pleasure” — The i
“A killer comedy to die for” — WhatsOnStage
A must-see for fans of intelligent comedy that isn’t afraid to bite back.

An evening of Romantic elegance with one of Britain’s finest quartets
Experience a richly expressive night of chamber music as the acclaimed Consone Quartet return to Sheffield’s Playhouse with Romantic String Quartets — a programme blending Classical innovation with Romantic warmth and lyricism.

Described as “top-notch” by AllMusic, the Consone Quartet has won numerous major prizes and made history as the first period-instrument string quartet selected as BBC New Generation Artists. As Music in the Round Sheffield’s Visiting Quartet, they are fast building a devoted following among Sheffield audiences.
The programme
The evening brings together three contrasting masterpieces that chart a journey through intimacy, invention, and emotional depth:
Clara Schumann – Three Romances (arr. Tress)
Originally written for violin and piano, these lyrical miniatures are reimagined here in a lush and sensitive string quartet arrangement.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – String Quartet in C major, “Dissonance”
Famous for its startlingly modern introduction, this quartet unfolds into music of elegance, vitality, and bold harmonic thinking.
Franz Schubert – String Quartet No.13 in A minor, “Rosamunde”
Lyrical, poignant, and radiant, Schubert’s beloved quartet weaves memorable melodies through moments of tender melancholy and joyful release.
Together, these works promise an immersive and emotionally rewarding concert — ideal for seasoned chamber music fans and newcomers alike.
