Job: Woolpit. Seeking Female Actress (40+) for Mary Plunkett's Role in 'A Bunch of Amateurs' Production
About the Project /Job:
Project Title: 'A Bunch of Amateurs'
- A Bunch of Amateurs is a love letter to amateur dramatics, written by Nick Newman and lan Hislop.
The story of the play follows former Hollywood action hero, Jefferson Steele, arriving in England to boost his stalling career by playing King Lear at Stratford. Unfortunately for him, his hapless agent has made a massive faux pas and this is not the Stratford-upon-Avon, home of the Bard, but a small Suffolk village. And instead of appearing with 'Branagh' and 'Dench' and the RSC, as expected, the rest of the cast are an amateur drama group called Stratford Players!
Jefferson's ego, vanity, and insecurity are tested fully by the enthusiastic amateur thesps, who can't believe their luck or lack of it. As the worlds of glamorous Hollywood and sleepy Suffolk intertwine Jefferson's career implodes, and he discovers some real truths about himself, and, ultimately, his inner Lear!
