Casting: The Unfriend

22 Feb 25


Bob Callender announces his cast for the hit comedy which hints at the perils of social media. It premiered at the Chichester Festival in 2022, transferring to the West End in 2023 and playing again in 2024.

The Unfriend is a new comedy by Stephen Moffat - writer of TV's Dr Who and Sherlock - about what happens when a terrible, dangerous American crosses paths with some perhaps-too-polite English people. Performances are 20 - 24 May, including a Saturday matinee.

Thanks to everyone who came to audition - we had a huge turnout which made for some difficult choices, but I'm pleased to announce my cast, and to welcome several new members.
