The Lost King | Sparkling Matinée Preview

Witness the hit from this year’s Cunard British Film Festival, The Lost King, from Academy Award-nominated director Stephen Frears at our Sparkling Matinee Preview!

Join us for a glass of sparkling on arrival!

Academy Award nominee Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water, Spencer) is magnificent in the rousing ‘stranger-than-fiction’ dramedy from two-time Academy Award nominated director Stephen Frears (The Grifters, The Queen, Philomena).

In 2012, having been lost for over 500 years, the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a carpark in Leicester. The search had been orchestrated by an amateur historian, Philippa Langley, whose unrelenting research had been met with incomprehension by her friends and family and with scepticism by experts and academics.

The Lost King is the life-affirming true story of a woman who refused to be ignored and who took on the country’s most eminent historians, forcing them to think again about one of the most controversial kings in England’s history.
