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 2023The 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 2023The Unfriend review
An uproarious comedy of English embarrassment.
Nick Curtis, Evening Standard, 20th 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.
