Past event
A Bunch of Amateurs -- The Film (15) St Andrews Play Club and the Byre present - Pay What You Can £20.00 / £15.00 / £10.00
Nothing can replace the real thing, but following the disappointing (but necessary) cancellation of St Andrews Play Club, this hilarious film is the next best thing. And it's a good excuse to get together to enjoy this charming and warm hearted comedy.
A sleazy Hollywood agent tricks one of his clients, a faded action star played by Burt Reynolds, into playing King Lear in an amateur charity production in England. A stellar writing team including Ian Hislop and a supporting cast that includes Imelda Staunton, Derek Jacobi and Samantha Bond guarantee plenty of laughs.
The proceeds from this screening are shared by St Andrews Play Club and the Byre.
