Ian Hislop & Nick Newman

Published by Samuel French

3 Male 4 Female

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

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