There's another great show in Buriton's Village Hall Cinema on Friday 13th April as "The Iron Lady" follows Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep) as she reminisces on her life, from her childhood to the present day.
The screenwriters have written a story based in the present, with Mrs Thatcher in her 80s, largely spending time at home and facing the task of clearing out the clothes of her late husband Denis.
This allows personal belongings to trigger memories of her past life – recreated as ‘flashbacks’. Events from her teenage years in Grantham via her election as Britain’s first female Prime Minister, IRA attacks, the Falklands war, the Brighton bombing, the miners’ strike, the poll tax riots to the end of her leadership are all covered.
Reviews suggest that the film provides a surprising and intimate portrait of Mrs Thatcher, one of the 20th century's most famous and influential women.
‘Films in Buriton’ are shown in the Village Hall with doors opening at 7:00pm for refreshments with performances starting at 7:30pm.
There is an interval during which ice creams are available.
Tickets cost £5 each and can be paid for in advance for collection on the door.
Contact Maggie Johnston (01730 262293), Sarah Marks (01730 262599) or Doug Jones (01730 231326).
