From the writer of television’s Dr. Who, Sherlock, and Dracula comes a hilarious new play about an unwanted house guest. After twenty years of marriage, Peter and Debbie are enjoying a cruise and a break from their annoying teenagers, when they meet an eagerly friendly, but perhaps dangerous, fellow passenger named Elsa. Before you know it, she’s taken up residence in their suburban home.Asolo Rep stages the US premiere of this hugely entertaining and satirical look at the terrifying lengths we go just to be nice. "One of the funniest plays to be seen on stage in a very long time... a killer comedy to die for." – What’s on Stage
