Victoria & Abdul
Cert 12 / 109 mins.
The unexpected friendship in the later years of Queen Victoria's (Dame Judi Dench) remarkable rule. When Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal), a young clerk, travels from India to participate in the Queen's Golden Jubilee, he is surprised to find favour with the Queen herself. As the Queen questions the constrictions of her long-held position, the two forge an unlikely and devoted alliance with a loyalty to one another that her household and inner circle all attempt to destroy. As the friendship deepens, the Queen begins to see a changing world through new eyes and joyfully reclaims her humanity.
"Judi Dench's Oscar-worthy second turn as Queen Victoria is a poignant portrait of fading power and human connection". - Rotten Tomatoes

Doors & licensed bar from 6.45pm.
