Film - Mr Burton
2025-09-26 19:30 - 21:30 | Westbury Village Hall, Hannah's Lane, BA5 1JD
The film shows are starting again this Friday with Mr Burton, a drama drawing on the early life of one of the UK’s most famous actors, Richard Burton, who became a huge Hollywood star, married (twice!) to the equally famous Elizabeth Taylor. But the Mr Burton of the title is Phillip Burton, a S Wales school master who spotted and encouraged the talent of his young pupil.
Here’s sample of what the critics have said –
Richard Burton’s unlikely history shines a light on the man behind the magic.
Striking period drama about an inspirational teacher and his star student, that asks a question always worth asking, what makes a great actor?
Toby Jones is moving as the theatre-loving teacher who instilled Shakespeare’s religion in his student. His performance can handle anything.
Lawtey is the true star of the piece, a mesmerising presence both in early scenes as the rough-around-the-edges pupil and in latter stages of the narrative, when his volatile personality threatens to derail a thespian career before it’s barely begun.
Jones can signify more with a gently furrowed brow than most performers can at full fury — which very nearly makes this film into an implicit essay on contrasting acting styles.
.Mr Burton prioritises one Burton over the other, and you’ll probably come away with a dozen questions. But it’s never boring, and Jones and Lawtey make for a lovely duo. Perfect viewing for a rainy Sunday afternoon.
Marc Evans’s film is a lovely thing…[Toby] Jones and [Leslie] Manville are predictably excellent.
So come and join your old village friends and bring some new ones with you. Tickets £8 from the village shop or on the door – to include your first gas of wine /beer/cider/apple juice and plentiful nibbles.

Verdandi Camerata is a flexible and versatile musical ensemble, used to adapting to different circumstances and surroundings. Besides their concert work they also run international music summer schools and courses in London and Poland. The director is Vietnamese-Norwegian conductor and violinist, Khac-Uyen Nguyen.
He was the first Vietnamese musician to be selected for the Asian Youth Orchestra, soon after he arrived by boat as a refugee in Hong Kong carrying little more than his violin. He began his violin studies at the age of 5 in Vietnam, and went on to study at the Norwegian State Academy of Music and the Guildhall School, London. Joining him for this concert are his wife, Dominika Rosiek, his niece Martha, and fellow Vietnamese Phuong Nguyen with his wife Miho Sanou. Phuong is a classical accordion player who also came via Hong Kong and became one of the earliest students of the accordion at the Royal Academy of Music in London.
Both families, have, not surprisingly, always taken the musical education of their children seriously. And so it is that Mia, Anna-May, Ly-Anne and Ken – all still in their early and mid-teens – will also be making an appearance at the concert on April 3rd.
The main item in the hour-long programme will be Prokoviev’s “Peter and the Wolf” – an evergreen favourite – specially arranged for this occasion. But just as exciting will be the chance to hear some thrilling Argentine tango music by Piazzolla and others, music that was composed specifically for the accordion, and truly memorable.
