This is England

PLEASE NOTE: this performance is free entry but tickets will only be issued from the Box Office on the day of the screening. This raw portrayal of a young boy finding his feet in Thatcher’s Britain, after a group of skinheads become his surrogate family, is a powerful coming-of-age drama and dissection of the period. Thomas Turgoose shot to fame as the young star of Shane Meadows’ semi-autobiographical coming-of-age drama, set against the stark backdrop of Thatcher’s Britain. Turgoose’s Shaun is 12 years old and has already suffered the loss of his father, who was killed in the Falklands War. Bullied at school, things pick up for him when a gang of skinheads become like a surrogate family. As the youngster finds himself drawn to Combo (Stephen Graham, menacing and magnetic), a psychotic ex-con, who is a firm believer in the National Front, he faces tough choices about where his true loyalties lie.
