I Wrote A Play!
Submitted by Glen Mathews blog on 08.20.10 at 7:52am.

Submitted by Ron Foley Macdonald on 08.12.10 at 6:38pm.

Bedford Players’ fall production is Busybody, a very funny mystery by Jack Popplewell (directed by Robin Saywood).

It’s a beautifully measured rendering of a classic by an unfairly neglected playwright who once d...
