Staples Players Rewind: “The Mystery of Edwin Drood”

Last week, “06880” introduced a new feature: a video look back at Staples Players’ productions.

Staples High School media teacher Jim Honeycutt started taping shows when David Roth became director, in 2000. His first — and Honeycutt’s first “nutshell” highlight video — was “Guys & Dolls.”

Today we rewind back to Roth’s second musical: Rupert Holmes’ “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” the show-within-a-show based on Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel.
