Britain's What's On Event Guide
A Bunch of Amateurs
The Centralian Players present A Bunch of Amateurs, a comedy by Nick Newman & Ian Hislop.
Keen to boost his flagging career, fading 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 instead of Kenneth Branagh and Dame Judi Dench, the cast are a bunch of amateurs trying to save their theatre from developers. Jefferson’s monstrous ego, vanity and insecurity are tested to the limit by the enthusiastic am-dram thespians. As acting worlds collide and Jefferson’s career implodes, he discovers some truths about himself – along with his inner Lear!
“Deliciously stuffed with Shakespeare...a laugh-a-minute” **** - Mail on Sunday
