Last production
A Bunch of Amateurs, 8th to 10th June 2023
By Ian Hislop and Nick Newman.
Keen to boost his flagging career, washed up Hollywood action hero Jefferson Steele arrives in England to play
King Lear in Stratford only to find that this is not the birthplace of the Bard but a sleepy Suffolk village and rather than Dame Judi Dench or Sir Kenneth Branagh the cast are a bunch of amateurs!
Jefferson’s monstrous ego, vanity and insecurity are tested to the limit by the enthusiastic am-dram thespians who are desperate to save their theatre from developers. As acting worlds collide and Jefferson’s career implodes, he discovers some hard truths about himself.
