Steven Moffat's stage debut, this dark comedy follows Peter and Debbie, who befriend Elsa, a sassy American widow, on a cruise ship. When Elsa invites herself to stay months later, the couple discovers she may have been putting more than mushrooms into her casseroles. Directed by Simon Phillips, the production stars Helen Thomson alongside Ty Arnott, Brooklyn Davies, Huw Higginson, Alex Lee, Tim Walter and Ben Wood. The play skewers middle-class England's obsession with politeness, no matter the cost.
