About Mr Burton

Join us at Burntwood Afternoon Cinema on Tuesday, 19th August, at 2pm for Mr Burton, the engrossing and heartfelt story of how a Welsh schoolboy became one of the world's most famous actors.

Starring Toby Jones and Harry Lawtey, this impressive film tells the true story of Richard Burton and his inspirational teacher, Philip Henry Burton. Set against the backdrop of a 1940s industrial mining community in South Wales, it's a tale of ambition, talent, and the profound impact a single person can have on a young life. It's a solid, well-told story that has been praised for its stellar performances and authentic atmosphere.

Perfect for an afternoon's entertainment, this is a film that celebrates the power of encouragement and the spark of genius. Come along to our friendly community cinema at the Burntwood Memorial Institute, where you'll find good company and a proper cuppa with biscuits from 1:30pm.

Tickets are just £5 – because a good story is even better when shared.

Burntwood Memorial Hall, Rugeley Road, Burntwood, WS7 9BE.
