Death After Dessert

Bermuda Musical & Dramatic Society presents Death After Dessert a new play by Nathaniel Butterfield.

America was starting to discover television in the early 1950s. It was challenging to cover the void left by the migration of several radio shows to the new platform. Networks had stopped making entertaining radio shows by the 1960s.

In 1956, Wilhelmville, Wisconsin's WWIL 1020 AM radio station is having financial difficulties. Longtime mainstays have gone to television, raising the stakes, and as viewership grows, so will the marketers.

George Hawkins believes he might know how to solve this. His nephew Andrew has been employed part-time while attending University in Chicago at a radio station. He gets an idea since he is aware that Andrew worked for a while at a studio that produced radio dramas.

With great pleasure, the Director and Producers present the cast of Nathaniel Butterfield's original play, Death After Dessert, which will run from July 18–27 at BMDS.
