Cinema Night – Book Tickets Now!

Time to book your tickets for Friday 18th November (This coming Friday) when Wardington Village Cinema will be screening Florence Foster Jenkins cert PG. In the 1940's, New York socialite Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep) dreams of becoming a great opera singer. Unfortunately, her ambition far exceeds her talent. The voice Florence hears in her head is beautiful, but to everyone else it is quite lousy. Her husband St. Clair goes to extreme lengths to make sure his wife never finds out how awful she truly is. When Florence announces her plans for a concert at Carnegie Hall, St. Clair soon realises that he's facing his greatest challenge yet.

At private recitals, her devoted husband and manager, St Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant), managed to protect Florence from the truth.
