      Icon Film Distribution has unveiled a trailer, poster, and images for the biographical drama Mr Burton. Directed by Marc Evans, the film chronicles the journey of Richard Jenkins, a wayward schoolboy and the son of a poor miner, as he transforms into the internationally celebrated actor Richard Burton, guided by a teacher who recognized his innate talent for drama. Watch the trailer below…

      This incredible true story reveals how the son of a miner rose to become one of the most distinguished actors in history, with the support of an unexpected mentor.

      Set in the Welsh town of Port Talbot in 1942, Richard Jenkins (Harry Lawtey, Industry, Joker: Folie à Deux) lives as a troubled schoolboy, grappling with the challenges of his struggling family, the ravages of war, and his own dreams. A turning point comes when his teacher, Philip Burton (BAFTA winner Toby Jones, Mr Bates vs. The Post Office), notices Richard’s natural flair for drama.

      Under Philip's mentorship, Richard flourishes, aided by the nurturing landlady, Ma Smith (Academy Award nominee Lesley Manville, The Crown). Yet, as acting opportunities begin to materialize for Richard, the weight of his past threatens to impede his progress.

      Mr Burton will be released in cinemas on April 4th.
