The Unfriend By Steven Moffat

The Nonentities Society opens the new season with a terrific comedy penned by one of our finest modern writers. 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 starring Lee Mack . Moffat is well-known for his TV scripts for Dr Who and Sherlock – rest assured you’re in for a treat.
What’s it all about? 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!
The Nonentities are joined by actors from KRYPT, Kidderminster Rose Young People’s Theatre, to provide that teenage authenticity to the family group!
The play runs from 8th-13th September. For more details on how to book visit the web-site www.rosetheatre.co.uk or call 01562 743745
