The Unfriend is a ridiculous premise for a show – when we read the overview we knew we absolutely had to check it out. In a nutshell, a British couple make a new American friend while on a cruise; they stay in touch and after a while they invite their new friend to stay at theirs while she’s visiting London.
In the interim, they discover the worst possible secret to find out about a potential house guest – it seems she’s a suspected serial killer.
This is further complicated by the fact that our British couple are just too reserved and polite to ask their guest to leave.
Over the course of two hours, we watch as they navigate this precarious social dilemma. It’s a wonderful concept for a play, and one that sets up some great comedic moments.
