The Mount Players’ final production for the year opens Friday November 1 – A Bunch of Amateurs by Ian Hislop and Nick Newham.
In a desperate plight to save their theatre from developers, a washed-up Hollywood star is flown in to play the title role in King Lear at ‘Stratford’ believing he will be appearing onstage at the legendary Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of The Bard.
Instead, he finds he has signed on with the ‘Stratford Players’ in the Suffolk village of Stratford St John. The local villagers are somewhat of a motley crew and are naturally delighted to have such an – albeit unsuccessful – star playing with them.
As acting worlds collide and Jefferson’s career implodes, he discovers some truths about himself – along with his inner Lear!
Lots of laughs and great characters guarantee a light-hearted wind up to The Mount Players’ 2024 season.
