A Bunch of Amateurs presented by The Alman

Alman Theatre - Wednesday 3rd December 2025 to Saturday 6th December 2025

Keen to boost his flagging career, fading Hollywood action hero Jefferson Steel arrives in England to play King Lear in Stratford - only to find that his 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.
