Global vagabond Rory is just looking for a warm, congenial pit stop. Taking up Evelyn\u2019s offer of a place to stay a night, maybe two, Rory finds himself feeling more and more at home at Evelyn\u2019s place. She meanwhile is unexpectedly delighted to have an agreeable, helpful young companion. That is, until Evelyn&#8217;s suspicious and massively overprotective son, Greg, his stoic, long-suffering wife, Trish, and their mischievous teenage daughter Sydney show up to visit!<\/p>\n<h6>Synopsis adapted from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/proplays.ws\/welcome-to-paradise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/proplays.ws\/welcome-to-paradise\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1683062969665000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3i2O8TFlVnR-YkvgW2z6Gs\">proplays.ws\/welcome-to-<wbr \/>paradise\/<\/a><\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Bedford Players&#8217; play reads are an informal, fun gathering where everyone is welcome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><u>THIS IS NOT AN AUDITION!<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">No acting experience needed &#8211; All are welcome!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A play read is a fun, no-commitment social activity offered free of charge by Bedford Players.
