A Bunch of Amateurs by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman

 Fading Hollywood actor Jefferson Steele arrives in England to play King Lear in Stratford. Unfortunately, it is Stratford in a sleepy Suffolk Village and the home of the Stratford Players - a somewhat struggling amateur dramatic group who are trying to save their theatre from developers. A hilarious comedy co written by Ian Hislop from Private Eye and co writer of Spitting Image and Nick Newman. This is a relatively new comedy having only made it's debut in 2014 and having also been made into a film.
