James Frey Visits Bedford Playhouse for Conversation on Next to Heaven

Bedford Playhouse recently welcomed bestselling author James Frey for a riveting conversation about his latest novel, Next to Heaven—a dark, satirical thriller that delves into the underbelly of America’s wealthiest communities. Dubbed “America’s Most Notorious Author” by TIME and the “Bad Boy of American Literature” by The New York Times, Frey captivated the audience with his insights into the twisted world of privilege, scandal, and betrayal that drives his newest work.
Moderated by author and media executive Fran Hauser, the event offered a lively and thought-provoking discussion on the themes of moral decay, voyeurism, and the extremes of human behavior that Frey masterfully explores in his novel. Guests had the opportunity to purchase signed copies of Next to Heavenand connect with the author in person.
It was a thrilling evening of literature, conversation, and candid storytelling—true to form for one of the most provocative voices in contemporary fiction.
