The Unfriend by Steven Moffat
 

While on holiday, Peter and Debbie befriend Elsa: a lusty, Trump-loving widow from Denver, USA. She's less than woke but kind of wonderful. They agree to stay in touch – because no one ever really does, do they?

​

When Elsa invites herself to stay a few months later, they decide to look her up online. Too late, they learn the truth about Elsa Jean Krakowski. Deadly danger has just boarded a flight to London! But how do you protect all that you love from mortal peril without seeming, well, a bit impolite? Because guess who's coming... to murder!

The Unfriend premiered at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester in May 2022, and ended its planned limited run in July 2022. It transferred to the West End in January 2023 and ran until April 2023, with the original cast from Chichester all returning. In December 2023 it returned to the West End starring Lee Mack, Sarah Alexander and Frances Barber running until March 2024.​
