The Unfriend review
Frances Barber steals the show in ridiculous new comedy.
Chris Selman, Gay Times, 25th January 2023The 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 2023The 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 2023The 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 2023The Unfriend, Criterion Theatre review
Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss's collaboration somehow forgets about the laughs.
Laura De Lisle, The Arts Desk, 21st January 2023The Unfriend in the West End
It might be slightly old-fashioned, but on its own metric, it works.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 20th January 2023The 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 2023The Unfriend review
Under its comic surface, The Unfriend does in fact have quite a few darker themes, not least how little we know about the people we meet, and the methods by which we judge them. Or how tempting it is to kill someone.
Sarah Crompton, What's On Stage, 20th January 2023The Unfriend review
Steven Moffat's house guest comedy is lazy and unfunny.
