Film Night - The Choral

1916 As war rages on the Western Front, the Choral Society in Ramsden, Yorkshire has lost most of its men to the army. The Choral’s ambitious committee, determined to press ahead, decides to recruit local young males to swell their ranks. They must also engage a new chorus master, and despite their suspicions that he has something to hide, their best bet seems to be Dr. Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes) – driven, uncompromising, and recently returned from a career in Germany. As conscription papers start to arrive, the whole community discovers that the best response to the chaos that is laying waste to their lives is to make music together. Directed by BAFTA, Olivier and Tony Award winner NICHOLAS HYTNER (The Crucible) and written by BAFTA, Olivier and Tony Award winner ALAN BENNETT, The Choral marks their fourth writer-director collaboration following the acclaimed films The Madness of King George, The History Boys, and The Lady in The Van. Director(s): Nicholas Hytner Runtime: 113 Certification: 15 Production Year: 2025 Cast: Mark Addy, Roger Allam, Ralph Fiennes We have two screenings: an evening screening with subtitles and one without subtitles. Tickets are priced at £8.50 plus booking fee. Please note tickets are non-refundable. PLEASE CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS VIA OUR TICKETING SYSTEM For evening performances, doors open 6.30 and screening starts at 7pm. Drinks (licensed bar) and light snacks will be available to purchase.
