a bunch of amateurs

Hollywood star Jefferson Steele is a little past his best. But he's turning it around – he's just been cast as King Lear in Stratford. He's about to tread the boards of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. His career is saved.

Only problem is, he's actually signed up to an amateur production with the Stratford Players, in the quiet Suffolk town of Stratford St John.

​

Will Jefferson come out on top? Or will he realise in the end that his amateur cast mates might not be so bad after all?
