In their 90th year The Legion Players is delighted to present ‘A Bunch of Amateurs’ – a play by Ian Hislop (Spitting Image fame) and Nick Newman.
Fading American Hollywood action hero Jefferson Steele arrives in England, desperate to boost his flagging career. His plan – to play the iconic King Lear at Stratford. He should have checked the map. This Stratford is not the birthplace of The Bard, but a sleepy village in Suffolk. And instead of Kenneth Branagh and Dame Judi Dench, the cast are a bunch of amateurs trying to save their theatre from developers. When monstrous ego, vanity and insecurity collide with enthusiastic am-dram thespians, it is pure drama….
