Wisbech Players bring Ian Hislop play to the stage

If you’re ready for an uplifting night of laughter, make a note of Wisbech Players’ next production, which takes to the stage next week.

When fading Hollywood star Jefferson Steel arrives in England to play King Lear at Stratford, he gets a shock.

He finds out that he isn’t going to be treading the boards in the birthplace of the Bard, but will be sharing the stage with a local amateur dramatic society in a sleepy Suffolk village called Stratford St John.
