MR. BURTON (2025) 12A (DRAMA/BIOGRAPHY)

It’s 1942 and Richard Jenkins (Harry Lawtey) is at school in Port Talbot, caught

between the pressures of an alcoholic father, a devastating war, and his own

ambitions. A new opportunity beckons when Richard’s natural talent for drama

catches the attention of his teacher, Philip Burton (Toby Jones). The young man

thrives under Philip’s strict tutelage and the guidance of a kindly landlady, Ma

Smith (Lesley Manville). But as the acting world comes within Richard’s reach,

the burden of his past risks holding him back forever.

With Harry Lawtey, Toby Jones, Lesley Manville

THE PENGUIN LESSONS (2024) 12A (DRAMA)

Disillusioned teacher Tom Michell (Steve Coogan) gets a job teaching English and

Rugby in a school for rich kids in Buenos Aires. It’s 1976 and Argentina is

controlled by a military dictatorship, but Tom is more interested in spending

time on the beach than in either his pupils or the political situation. During a

weekend trip to Uruguay he rescues an orphaned penguin and smuggles it back

into the school, little suspecting that this is the beginning of a personal and

political awakening.

With Steve Coogan, Jonathan Pryce

Director: Peter Cattaneo
