Our Next Production is….
The Unfriend by Steven Moffat and produced by Keri Duffy
Monday 22nd September – Saturday 27th September 2025
Peter and Debbie are enjoying a cruise – a celebration of twenty years of marriage, and a break from their annoying teenagers. They befriend fellow passenger, Elsa Jean Krakowski, an eccentric American with a fondness for Donald Trump. There’s something slightly unsettling in her overeager friendliness… but there’s no point rocking the boat if you’re about to get off it.
Back home, in the comfort of suburbia, Elsa suddenly turns up on Peter and Debbie’s doorstep, unexpectedly. And when they look up their house guest online, unearthing some hair-raising evidence, their good nature is challenged as never before. What kind of danger have they allowed to take up residence in their guest room? And can they bring themselves to say anything about it? Sometimes, the truth is just too impolite.
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 May 2022, directed by Mark Gatiss, with a cast including Amanda Abbington, Frances Barber and Reece Shearsmith. The production transferred to the Criterion Theatre in the West End in January 2023.
Members: may book tickets by post or email at any time.
Box Office: open from 17th September 2025 onwards.

IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT
We rely on our small army of volunteers, without whom we wouldn’t be able to entertain our audiences.
Yes, it’s true – the theatre staff aren’t paid – they’re all volunteers, and they form an essential part of every event that takes place.
We welcome anyone that can spare a few hours to give us a hand – it could be serving drinks in the bar, making tea and coffee for the interval, working the box office, or even acting as Front of House Staff in the auditorium.
Interested in getting involved? Please contact the Box Office on 01777 702002 or email us at
