The Mill at Sonning has long enjoyed a close relationship with Wargrave Theatre, a respected local drama group performing for over fifty years. They stage around five shows a year, including open-air Shakespeare, award- winning pantomimes, and a thriving youth section.

This year the Mill is delighted to host one of the Wargrave Theatre productions for 5 performances. The UNFRIEND by Steven Moffat, a very successful comedy in the WEST END
starring Lee Mack.

While Peter and Debbie are enjoying a cruise to celebrate twenty years of marriage, they befriend fellow passenger Elsa Jean Krakowski, an eccentric widow from Denver. There’s something slightly unsettling in her friendliness and eagerness to stay in touch, but they agree – because no one ever really does, do they? Back home a few months later, Elsa suddenly invites herself to stay. Debbie decides to Google her — too late, they learn the truth about Elsa Jean Krakowski. What danger have they allowed into their home? How do they protect all they love? Sometimes, the truth is just too impolite. The Unfriend takes a hilarious, satirical look at middle-class England’s instinct to always appear nice.

AN AMATEUR PRODUCTION BY ARRANGEMENT WITH NICK HERN BOOKS.
