About this Event

Cast: Judi Dench, Ali Fazal
UK, 112 mins, 2017, English
Judi Dench. Sold yet? Stephen Frears (The Queen) brings to life a lesser known story of the royals about how Queen Victoria struck up an unlikely yet defining friendship with a young Indian clerk named Abdul Karim. As their friendship deepened, the queen began to see a changing world through new eyes and reclaiming her humanity. Featuring the onscreen royalty that is Judi Dench reprising her role as Queen Victoria, across Bollywood actor Ali Fazal as Abdul, Victoria And Abdul is one of those delightful gems which deserves to be told on the big screen and one which is already generating a great deal of Oscar buzz. Above all, it is a tale of connection and discovering empathy.
Shrabani Basu, author of Victoria & Abdul: The True Story of the Queen’s Closest Confidant, the source material for Stephen Frears’ Victoria and Abdul, will join us for a post screening Q&A.
Ticket Price: £12.00 / £8.00
