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.

JACK AND SARAH

A World Premiere

Dates: April 23rd  - Jun 13th

Based on the much-loved 1995 film starring Richard E. Grant and Dame Judi Dench, JACK AND SARAH is a heartwarming, witty, and unexpected romantic comedy about finding love, family, and second chances in the most unlikely places.

When Jack, a workaholic lawyer, is suddenly left to raise his baby daughter alone, his carefully ordered world unravels. Enter Amy, a free-spirited au pair with a big heart and an even bigger personality. Against all odds, and with a little help (and hindrance) from an eccentric cast of family and friends, their two very different worlds collide in the most surprising and life-affirming way.

Packed with sharp humour, tender moments, and a generous dose of 90s charm, JACK AND SARAH is a joyous new production about the messy, unpredictable enchantment of life and love.

This show performs the music of Genesis and the solo projects Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Mike & The Mechanics. Hits spanning from the late 70s onwards including; Turn it On again, Sledgehammer, In The Air Tonight, Over My Shoulder, Against All Odds, That's All, The Living Years and many more.

The frontman is not only an incredibly versatile vocalist, he is also a truly gifted drummer just like Phil Collins. So expect the show to include the well known "DOUBLE DRUMS" element as featured on every Genesis and Phil Collins tour.
