Description

While on holiday, Peter and Debbie befriend Elsa: a lusty 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, impolite...?

The Unfriend takes an hilarious and satirical look at middle-class England's disastrous instinct always to appear nice.

Steven Moffat is an award-winning writer whose internationally successful television shows include Doctor Who, Sherlock and Dracula.

Tickets will be available from Penrith TIC.
