The Unfriend at Sonning Mill
Overview
Set on the banks of the River Thames, the Mill at Sonning Theatre has been entertaining for over 40 years! It is the only dinner theatre in the United Kingdom, and has gained unrivalled praise both nationally and internationally.
We have attended quite a few productions here now, including drama, farce, musicals, tours with afternoon tea, and immersive performances in the waterwheel bar.
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 of The UNFRIEND by Steven Moffat, a very successful comedy in the WEST END starring Lee Mack. I missed this when it was on at Wokingham Theatre recently, so glad to have a second chance to catch it.
There is no dinner included, hence the bargain price, the waterwheel bar will be open before the show for bar snacks and drinks. The show starts at 7.45pm, I’d suggest meeting no later than 7.15, and it might be nice to meet a bit earlier and have a bite to eat, a chat and a drink.

The Unfriend
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.
