    The Unfriend

    While on a cruise, Peter and Debbie meet Elsa, a strange but enchanting American woman and in her eyes their best friend. When she invites herself to stay with them a few months later, they finally look her up and discover her deadly secret but it’s too late! As Elsa quickly makes herself at home the two must find a way to get rid of her politely, and not let her cook them dinner. A frightfully funny and satirical look at the middle-class English instinct to always be good hosts, The Unfriend was first performed at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester in 2022, before a run in the West End in 2023. This modern comedy of manners is the first stage play written by Steven Moffat, an award-winning writer for Doctor Who, Sherlock and Dracula. Approximate run time including interval – 1 hour 55 minutes.

  8. Anne Edwards - The Oracle of The Stables

    Anne Edwards - The Oracle of The Stables

    Anne (known by everyone as Annie) Edwards is a well known figure around The Stables; she’s as at home on the stage as a performer as she is manning the box office or keeping the diary in order. Earlier this summer as part of the Scene and Heard festival Annie was nominated as one of the Female Heroes, she was nominated by Victoria Fay who said there was no one else more deserving of the recognition and described her as ‘…the oracle of the The Stables.’ As part of the exhibition that was set up in the art gallery a soundscape was created in which Jane Midwinter interviewed each of the heroes and also spoke to those who nominated them. In this podcast we’ve selected Annie’s interview which we are sure you’ll enjoy and we’re pretty certain you’ll find out things about her that didn’t know!
