A Bunch of Amateurs

Weds 14th – Sat 17th May, 2025
St. Barnabas Church, Southfields

In this laugh-out-loud comedy, a fading Hollywood actor, desperate to save his career, agrees to star in a production of King Lear. Believing he will be playing alongside the RSC in the birthplace of Shakespeare himself, he discovers that he will actually be performing in the Suffolk village of Stratford St John with an amateur dramatics group that is… well, very amateur.
Cue egos, chaos, and plenty of Shakespearean shenanigans as they try to put on the play of a lifetime!
