To celebrate the release of Mr Burton, the new post-war film set in Wales, which tells the true story of the man who discovered the talent of Richard Burton, who went on to become a formidable actor in the 1950s and 1960s, we’re giving away three double passes for the film in Australia.

Mr Burton stars Harry Lawtey as Richard Jenkins, the man who would change his name to Richard Burton, and Toby Jones and Philip Burton, the teacher who spots the talent in the young man. Mr Burton is directed by Marc Evans, with a script from Tom Bullough and Josh Hyams.

Set against the grit of post-war Wales, MR BURTON is the extraordinary true story of a working-class boy destined for greatness and the teacher who saw it first. When Philip Burton, a principled and passionate schoolteacher in Port Talbot, meets Richie Jenkins, a volatile yet gifted teen from a fractured home, he recognises a spark that others have overlooked. Through mentorship, discipline, and love, Philip shapes Richie’s raw talent, setting him on the path to becoming Richard Burton, one of the greatest actors of the 20th century.
