‘You should be afraid’: poison pen letters reignite UK actors’ fund feud

Police notified after former trustees and current chief executive of Actors’ Benevolent Fund were sent notes

The annual meeting of the Actors’ Benevolent Fund (ABF) takes place on Tuesday after at least three years of turmoil with little prospect that it will pass off uneventfully.
