Unfriend Me You Fiend

Dan’s ex-partner has unexpectedly unfriended him. Dan wants to know why. But, Esther, his current partner wants to know why he wants to know why. Words lead them into dangerous, unexplored places. It’s a verbal minefield, and no one’s getting out of it unscathed.

Unfriend Me You Fiend is a comedy of social media manners, misunderstandings and misinterpretations of people’s motives that asks: do we actually understand one another any better when we meet face to face?
