Poynton Players Production poster for A Bunch of Amateurs

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.

Jefferson's daughter, who has been neglected by her Hollywood star father now turns up wanting to make him pay for it.

As acting worlds collide and Jefferson’s career implodes, he discovers some truths about himself – along with his inner Lear!

The film starred Burt Reynolds, David Jacobi, Imelda Staunton & Samantha Bond.
