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.
