We had seen the Love List years ago at Neptune so we knew it would be very entertaining.\u00a0It is wonderful to have this theatre in Bedford. We have enjoyed many good plays at the Astor in Liverpool put on by Winds of Change theatre group but had not been to Bedford before. We will be sure to get there again.<\/em>&#8221; &#8211; Nancy<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Laughing is good for you and I have been laughing a lot at the show!<\/em>&#8221; &#8211; Preview night patron<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>What a GREAT modern morality play! \u00a0Lots of great messages and VERY funny! I&#8217;m going to tell everyone there&#8217;s a great show on at Bedford Players!<\/em>&#8221; &#8211; Patron after opening night<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Norm Foster should be proud to have his comic genius so aptly presented by these very talented actors!\u00a0 Hilarious delivery, as evidenced by the reaction of the audience.\u00a0 Well done!<\/em>&#8221; &#8211; Sherry L<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>What a great play! Lots of laughs . We will definitely be back to see the Bedford players again and can&#8217;t wait to see what they have in store!<\/em>&#8221; &#8211; Linda C<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Fantastic play! I saw it last week and loved every minute of it!

Awesome job handling Norm Fosters &#8220;The Love List&#8221;. The actors were fantastic and had me believing they were having an actual conversation while I sat and listened in&#8230;this is hard to do and it was done superbly! Great job by all, including all the volunteers backstage as well as the lovely front of house staff!<\/em>&#8221; &#8211; Jackie W<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Norm Foster writes hilarious plays, but this one is brought to laugh-out-loud status by the three remarkable actors who play Bill, Leon and Justine. In fact, it reaches the laugh-until tears-come-to-your-eyes level. This team&#8217;s physical reactions to the others&#8217; lines, the eye-rolling, the grimaces, the little mannerisms that each brings to their character are so skillfully done, so smooth and so much a part of the moment that many times they have to wait till the laughter dies down before they can continue. I can&#8217;t remember when I&#8217;ve laughed so much within a two hour period. Well done Terry, Mike, Claire and Clair. (and backstage magicians &amp; volunteers as well).
