The cast of St Nicolas Players’ adaptation of A Bunch of Amateurs.

Get ready for a bunch of laughs

The St Nicolas Players are back on the South Holland Centre stage this week with their latest show, A Bunch of Amateurs.

The comedy written by Have I Got News For You’s Ian Hislop is being staged at 7.30pm tonight (Wednesday), Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week.

The Spalding-based group is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year and this show is being directed by Jules Jones and produced by Joanna Hobbs.

A spokesman for the South Holland Centre said: “Keen to boost his flagging career, fading Hollywood actor Jefferson Steele arrives in England to play King Leah in Stratford – he arrives, not in the birthplace of the Bard, but a sleepy Suffolk village.

“And instead of Branagh and 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.

“A comedy, where acting worlds collide, and American realism, meets English mellifluence.”

Tickets are £12.50 for adults and £10 concessions and available at https://www.southhollandcentre.co.uk/whats-on/view/a-bunch-of-amateurs-st-nicolas-players

Doors open at 7pm each night.
