A person, often met on holiday, who doesn’t understand that “let’s keep in touch” means “goodbye.” Sometimes a murderer. Fresh from breaking Box Office records earlier this year, prepare to welcome The Unfriend back to the West End for a strictly limited run at Wyndham’s Theatre from 15 December. BAFTA Award winning comedian Lee Mack (Not Going Out, Would I Lie To You?) and Sarah Alexander (Coupling, Smack The Pony) join Frances Barber (Silk, Doctor Who) as she reprises her force of nature performance in this smash hit comedy from writer Steven Moffat and director Mark Gatiss, the celebrated team behind BBC’s Sherlock. 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, so they agree to stay in touch - because no one ever really does, do they? When Elsa invites herself to stay with the family a few months later, they decide to look her up online. But it’s too late: on learning the truth about Elsa Jean Krakowski, the deadly danger is already on a flight to London! What began as a casual holiday friendship is suddenly a threat to all their lives. 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 **** ‘Comic magic. A joyously funny play from Sherlock’s Steven Moffat. Laughter erupts continually throughout Mark Gatiss’s impeccable production’ Daily Telegraph ***** ‘Lee Mack stars in a hilarious comedy about British suburbia. The audience are in rapturous laughter’ ‘Perfectly encapsulates modern family living’ ‘A comically dark insight into what can happen when we fail to stand our ground’ The Sun ***** 'Moffat’s writing is comedy gold. Sarah Alexander excels' The Reviews Hub ***** ‘One of the funniest plays in a very long time’ WhatsOnStage **** ‘Hits the funny bone with a twang’ The Times (Criterion Theatre) 'Lee Mack bounces into this serial-killer comedy. A comedy genius.' The Times (Wyndham’s Theatre) **** ‘A viciously funny and dark comedy’ Guardian **** ‘A riotous bit of fun’ Evening Standard **** ‘A modern farce happy to make audiences laugh’ Sunday Times **** ‘Tour deforce farce. Proper gut-busting stuff’ The Stage ‘The funniest new play by a British writer since Ayckbourn at his peak’ Michael Billington
