About The Unfriend
Following its acclaimed sold-out run at Chichester Festival Theatre, this riotous dark comedy from writer Steven Moffat and director Mark Gatiss, the award-winning team behind BBC’s Sherlock, stars an uproarious cast including Reece Shearsmith (Inside No.9), Amanda Abbington (Sherlock) and Frances Barber (Silk). 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! What began as a casual holiday friendship is now a threat to the lives of their children. Peter and Debbie now face the ultimate challenge of the modern world - how do you protect all that you love from mortal peril without seeming a bit impolite? Because guess who’s coming… to MURDER. In his theatrical directing debut, Mark Gatiss' production of Moffat's debut stage play turns the spotlight on middle class England's obsession with good manners. Don't miss this critically acclaimed production in the West End! Age Recommendation: 14+

What is The Unfriend about?
When Peter and Debbie befriend US widow Elsa on holiday, they know that she isn’t exactly from their world – after all, she’s a Trump supporter from Denver with a penchant for making politically incorrect statements. But a harmless holiday friendship and an empty promise to stay in touch don’t seem like the end of the world and there really is something fun about Elsa.
However, when Elsa invites herself to stay a few months later, Peter and Debbie decide that for the sake of their children they should probably check her out online. What they find leaves them shaken, but it’s too late. Elsa is on already on a flight to London, so they’ll just have to cross their fingers and pray for their lives. There’s no way out of the situation. After all, the last thing they want is to be rude…
From Doctor Who & Sherlock writer and director Steven Moffatt and Mark Gatiss comes a brand new hilarious dark comedy, fresh off a sold out, critically acclaimed run at Chichester Festival Theatre. Don’t miss out on The Unfriend London tickets.
