A BUNCH OF AMATEURS

The play follows former Hollywood action hero Jefferson Steele, arriving in England to boost his stalling career by playing King Lear at Stratford.
Unfortunately for him, his hapless agent has made a massive faux pas, and this is not the
Stratford-upon-Avon, home of the Bard, but a small Suffolk village. Instead of appearing with
'Branagh' and 'Dench' and the RSC, as expected, he finds the rest of the cast are an amateur drama
group called Stratford Players! Jefferson's ego, vanity, and insecurity are tested
fully by the enthusiastic amateur thesps, who can't believe their luck, or lack of it.
As the worlds of glamorous Hollywood and sleepy Suffolk intertwine Jefferson's career implodes, and
he discovers some real truths about himself, and, ultimately, his inner Lear!
