The Unfriend by Steven Moffat

The Unfriend by Steven Moffat

Steven Moffat's hilarious satirical play about middle-class England's disastrous instinct always to appear nice.

'Steven Moffat has skilfully crafted one of the funniest plays to be seen on stage in a very long time.. pure comedy gold... a comedy of manners that niftily speeds along and is full of outrageous humour... never anything except laugh-out-loud funny... a killer comedy to die for'

* WhatsOnStage *

'Effortlessly entertaining... The action is line-by-line funny and an apt commentary on English middle-class manners... Moffat may be the new Ayckbourn'

* Telegraph *

'A hilarious dark comedy of good manners... a tour de force of toilet farce, proper gut-busting stuff'

* The Stage *

'A cringe-tastic play of exquisite embarrassment... worthy of a place in the macabre comedy series Inside No 9'

* Guardian *

'Boasts a ruthlessly efficient devotion to the punchline and a relentless urgency in ratcheting up the awkward tension. Every second or third line of this farcical modern comedy of manners is a gag... The premise is brilliant in its simplicity and hugely effective in its laugh-filled execution'

* Chortle *

'A much-needed, riotous bit of fun... an uproarious comedy of English embarrassment... a relentlessly snowballing orgy of cringe and discomfiture... a delight'

* Evening Standard *

'Hits the funny bone with a welcome twang'

* The Times *
