Hilarious hit comedy The Unfriend at the People’s Theatre in Heaton next week

When good manners might just be the death of you …!

This comedy by acclaimed writer Steven Moffat (Doctor Who, Sherlock) is full of laughs, fast-paced dialogue, and outrageous misunderstandings!

When Peter and Debbie meet the eccentric Elsa during a cruise, they never imagine she’ll take up their casual invitation to visit them. But months later, Elsa arrives on their doorstep, turning their orderly lives upside down.

As her unsettling stories (as well as an alarming Google search!) begin to raise suspicions, one question becomes impossible to ignore … what if Elsa is a murderer?

Caught between growing panic and their desperate need to remain polite, Peter and Debbie find themselves trapped in a spiralling farce. After all, how do you uninvite someone without being rude?

Packed with laugh-out-loud comedy and ever escalating chaos, THE UNFRIEND proves good manners can be absolutely murderous!

The Unfriend plays at People’s Theatre Tuesday 28 April – Saturday 2 May 2026. Tickets are available here.
