The Penguin Lessons
About The Penguin Lessons
Join us at Burntwood Afternoon Cinema for The Penguin Lessons, a delightfully heart-warming comedy-drama starring the brilliant Steve Coogan as a teacher whose life is transformed by an unexpected feathered friend. Set in 1970s Argentina, this charming tale follows a rather world-weary English schoolmaster who finds himself caring for an emperor penguin - and discovering that sometimes the most unlikely companions can teach us the most important lessons about courage and compassion.
Based on Tom Michell's beloved memoir and directed by Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty), this feel-good film combines gentle humour with touching moments that will warm your heart. Coogan delivers a wonderfully nuanced performance alongside a stellar supporting cast including Jonathan Pryce, proving that great stories about friendship and personal growth never go out of style.
Perfect for a summer afternoon's entertainment, this uplifting film celebrates the bonds that connect us all - whether human or penguin! Come along to our friendly community cinema on Tuesday 15th July, where you'll enjoy good company and a proper cuppa with biscuits from 1:30pm. Film starts at 2pm Tickets just £5 - because the best stories are even better when shared with friends.
The address is: Burntwood Memorial Institute, Rugeley Road, Burntwood, WS7 9BE.
