Laods Presents -'A Bunch Of Amateurs'

A Bunch of Amateurs - Ian Hislop and Nick Newman

Keen to boost his flagging career, fading Hollywood Action hero Jefferson Steele arrives in England to play King Lear in Stratford - only to hind that this is not the birthplace of the Bard, but a sleepy Suffolk Village. And instead of Kenneth Brannagh and 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 is inner Lear!
