A Wickedly Funny Modern Comedy Arrives On The Local Stage Lyndhurst Drama and Musical Society is delighted to present Steven Mo at’s sharply comic play e Unfriend - a fast-paced, cheerfully chaotic look at what happens when good manners go very, very wrong. In this brilliantly silly modern farce, a perfectly ordinary British couple nd themselves dealing with an unexpected houseguest whose enthusiasm is… well, let’s just say memorable. What follows is a whirlwind of awkwardness, overpoliteness, and the kind of social discomfort we all recognise (and secretly enjoy watching happen to other people). Packed with snappy dialogue, big characters, and escalating mayhem, this production promises an evening of laughs, surprises, and “oh no, don’t do that” moments. A night of comedy that celebrates community theatre at its best: bold, joyful, and just a little bit unhinged. e Unfriend will be on stage at the Vernon eatre on Sandy Lane, Lyndhurst (SO43 7DN) on 16th, 17th and 18th July at 7.30pm. Tickets are £13 and available from Lyndhurstdrama.co.uk or call: 023 8029 2531.
