Time Out says

Think you understand good manners? Well, everything you’ve learnt is about to be flipped on its head.

In an Australian first, The Unfriend is taking to the Sydney stage from Tuesday, September 29 for a month-long run. Deemed “a killer comedy of manners”, this Sydney Theatre Company production will have you in stitches while challenging your perception of what good manners are – all with a side of murder mystery to top it off.

When heading to the Roslyn Packer Theatre, strap in for big laughs and well-timed moments of discomfort, as The Unfriend heads into uncharted waters, taking on the tale of an unwanted guest – with a penchant for suspicious mushrooms – who’s adamant on overstaying their welcome.

This puzzling performance is the stage debut of acclaimed writer Steven Moffat, known for his work on Doctor Who and Sherlock. Plus, Helen Thomson (who plays Lynelle in Colin From Accounts) will lead the cast, so it’s a stacked line-up of talent.

If you’re ready to dig into a deliciously dark comedy inspired by a true story of the world’s worst houseguest, snap up tickets now.

Catch The Unfriend’s month-long stint at the Roslyn Packer Theatre from Tuesday, September 29 to Saturday, October 31. Tickets are available here.
