    This inspirational film explores the true story of legendary actor Richard Burton’s formative years, focusing on his mentorship by schoolmaster Philip Burton, in post-war Wales.

    In the town of Port Talbot, 1942, Richie Jenkins lives as a wayward schoolboy, caught between the pressures of his struggling family, a devastating war and his own ambitions. However, a new opportunity arises when Richie's natural talent for drama catches the attention of his teacher, Philip Burton. Recognizing raw, untapped talent in the son of a alcoholic miner, Philip becomes a strict mentor and eventual adoptive father, guiding Richie through rigorous training to overcome his humble beginnings.

    Use paints and fine-line markers to decorate your own wooden egg with traditional motifs or your own modern twist. Whether you are celebrating your heritage or simply want to learn a new craft, all are welcome.
