The Unfriend

The Mill at Sonning has long enjoyed a close relationship

with Wargrave Theatre, a respected local drama group

performing for over fifty years. They stage around five

shows a year, including open-air Shakespeare, award-

winning pantomimes, and a thriving youth section.

This year the Mill is delighted to host one of the Wargrave

Theatre productions for 5 performances. The UNFRIEND by

Steven Moffat, a very successful comedy in the WEST END

starring Lee Mack.

While Peter and Debbie are enjoying a cruise to

celebrate twenty years of marriage, they befriend fellow

passenger Elsa Jean Krakowski, an eccentric widow

from Denver. There’s something slightly unsettling in her

friendliness and eagerness to stay in touch, but they

agree – because no one ever really does, do they?

Back home a few months later, Elsa suddenly invites

herself to stay. Debbie decides to Google her —

too late, they learn the truth about Elsa Jean Krakowski.

What danger have they allowed into their home? How do

they protect all they love? Sometimes, the truth is just

too impolite. The Unfriend takes a hilarious, satirical look

at middle-class England’s instinct to always appear nice.
