Mr Burton In the Welsh town of Port Talbot, 1942, Richard Jenkins (Harry Lawtey) lives as a wayward schoolboy, caught between the pressures of his struggling family, a devastating war, and his own ambitions. However, a new opportunity arises when Richard’s natural talent for drama catches the attention of his teacher, Philip Burton (BAFTA winner Toby Jones). Taking Richard under his wing, the young man thrives thanks to Philips strict tutelage and the guidance of kindly landlady Ma Smith (Academy Award nominee Lesley Manville). But as the acting world comes within Richard’s reach, the burden of his past risks holding him back forever. The film will start at 19:00 prompt, with supper served at approx. 20:00.
