The Unfriend review

Frances Barber steals the show in ridiculous new comedy.

Chris Selman, Gay Times, 25th January 2023

The Unfriend review

Sharp, witty and quick - this play will keep you on your toes laughing full belly laughs as the British ludicrousness plays out on stage.

Tabitha James, A Young(ish) Perspective, 24th January 2023

The Unfriend review

Moffat and Gatiss have delivered an audience pleaser, skewering one aspect of British behaviour in a tale that might have a violent ending. A warning too: think twice when you are on holiday!

Howard Loxton, British Theatre Guide, 23rd January 2023

The Unfriend review

The Unfriend feels like traditional West End fare. Whereas Inside No. 9 pushes boundaries, this reinforces them. But if you want an episode that definitely won't give you nightmares this does hit the spot.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 23rd January 2023

The Unfriend, Criterion Theatre review

Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss's collaboration somehow forgets about the laughs.

Laura De Lisle, The Arts Desk, 21st January 2023

The Unfriend review

The Unfriend is a killer show made up of an expertly talented cast and crew, well worth cruising over to the Criterion Theatre for a visit.

The Reviews Hub, 20th January 2023

The Unfriend review

An uproarious comedy of English embarrassment.

Nick Curtis, Evening Standard, 20th January 2023

The Unfriend review

Packed with pithy one-liners.

Dave Fargnoli, The Stage, 20th January 2023

The Unfriend in the West End

It might be slightly old-fashioned, but on its own metric, it works.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 20th January 2023

The Unfriend review

Steven Moffat's debut play is a disappointingly bland comedy about an English couple who take in a possible serial killer.

Andrzej Lukowski, Time Out, 20th January 2023
