Discover the remarkable true story behind one of Wales’ greatest acting legends.
Join Ferriby Screen at North Ferriby Village Hall on Friday 4th September for the acclaimed biographical drama Mr Burton, a moving and inspiring film that tells the story of the extraordinary relationship between gifted but troubled schoolboy Richard Jenkins and the dedicated teacher, Philip Burton, who recognised his talent, changed his life, and helped shape him into the world-famous actor Richard Burton.
With outstanding performances from Toby Jones and Harry Lawtey, this is a powerful story of friendship, determination and the life-changing impact of a great teacher. As Richard Burton himself later said of his mentor, “I owe him everything.” That simple statement captures the heart of this beautifully crafted film, which celebrates the power of belief, opportunity and the courage to pursue a dream against the odds.
Whether you’re a film lover, a fan of Richard Burton, or simply enjoy an unforgettable true story, this is an evening not to be missed. Doors and the bar open at 7.00pm, giving you time to relax with a drink before the film begins at 7.30pm. Tickets are just £7.50 per person—excellent value for a memorable night at the movies in the comfort of your local village hall.
