THE CHORAL

Saturday 25th April 2026 7.30pm

"They were divided by war. He united them in song."

Period Drama
Cert: 12A
UK  2025  113 mins (plus an intermission of 15 mins
 
Director: Nicholas Hytner
Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Roger Allam, Mark Addy, Alun Armstrong, Robert Emms, and Simon Russell Beale.
 

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.

The film will be shown with an intermission with the bar and ice creams available.

The Choral can be described as old-fashioned in the best sense. The period details are lovingly applied; the script, by the great Alan Bennett, is beautifully crafted; and the performances, led by the marvellous Ralph Fiennes as the town's reluctant choirmaster, are all standouts.."
