🎬 Mr. Burton (12) - May Duns Community Cinema

Based on a remarkable true story, discover how the poor son of a miner became one of the greatest actors the world has ever known, with the help of an unlikely mentor.

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).

"This is a wonderful film with fantastic performances. I expected Lesley Manville (such a great actress) and Toby Jones to be good, and they were! But it's the performance by Harry Lawtey as young Rich Jenkins becoming Richard Burton that really knocks it out of the park: he is riveting and moving and very impressive."
