A Bunch Of Amateurs

A comedy by 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 find that this is not the birthplace of the Bard, but a sleepy Suffolk village...and the cast are a bunch of amateurs. Jefferson's monstrous ego, vanity and insecurity are tested by the enthusiastic amateur thespians. As acting worlds collide and Jefferson's career implodes, he discovers some truths about himself ... long with his inner Lear!
