OUR SPRING PRODUCTION 2025

This is a picture of (nearly) everyone who was involved in this production. It takes a great community to create these wonderful plays and, like an iceberg, much of it goes on below the surface. Acting is only one facet, and we need people to prompt, do the sound, work backstage, front of house, costumes, make-up, and much more.

A Bunch of Amateurs is a feel good comedy, written by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman (Private Eye, Spitting Image).
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!
