A Bunch of Amateurs

Beith Theatre Group presents "A Bunch of Amateurs" by Nick Newman and 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!!
Much like Jefferson Steele's arrival in Stratford St John's, your arrival to Beith Parish Church Hall is greatly anticipated by our motley crew of amateurs. Join us on Friday 29th and Saturday 30th August for a riotous evening. Will Jefferson stick around? Will the villagers be able to save their theatre?
