The Iron Lady
Subtitled screenings: Tuesdays when available
THE IRON LADY tells the compelling story of Margaret Thatcher, a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. The story concerns power and the price that is paid for power, and is a surprising and intimate portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman.
The film stars Academy Award-winners Meryl Streep as Lady Thatcher and Jim Broadbent as Denis Thatcher. Their young selves are played by Alexandra Roach and Harry Lloyd. The rest of the cast of family and friends, politicians and advisers, is made up of the very best of British acting talent, including: Olivia Colman, Nicholas Farrell, Susan Brown, Roger Allam, Anthony Head, Julian Wadham, Pip Torrens, Nick Dunning, Richard E Grant, David Westhead, Angus Wright and John Sessions.

‘Theatr Colwyn – the UK’s oldest operating cinema’
It was more than 126 years ago that the venue now known as Theatr Colwyn first opened its doors to the public.
Back in the 1880s, it was then called a Public Hall – as the stone plaque at the top of the building still testifies – but it’s uses were many, just as they are today – a place of entertainment, for discussions, dances and fundraising events.
We are pleased to announce that recent investigations in public archives revealed the venue is now the UK’s oldest operating cinema.
The first screenings took place in January, 1909, when the building was run by the entrepreneur Harry Reynolds.
Time, taste and technology have all taken giant leaps since then, but the venue and its small group of staff, volunteers and supporters, led by manager Phil Batty, still operate at the very heart of the community, as those in charge of the venue did all those years ago.
Theatr Colwyn is a receiving theatre, seating 329 people (including wheelchair spaces) and hosts a wide variety of performances ranging from dance and drama to rock music concerts, Welsh language shows and a very popular Christmas pantomime.
It has a thriving cinema audience who enjoy not only the latest blockbuster releases on the big screen, but also independent, classic and foreign language films, courtesy of the Rialto Film Night.
The venue is available to hire (please contact Phil Batty for rates), as is the newly installed recording studio and rehearsal room. A bar selling alcohol and soft beverages is available before and during the interval at most live performances.
We are privileged to have Terry Jones as our patron, the Colwyn Bay-born Monty Python, actor, writer and director.
