From BAFTA and Tony-winning writer Alan Bennett and director Nicholas Hytner (The History Boys, The Lady in the Van), The Choral is a moving, often funny portrait of a Yorkshire community during WWI.
With most of their men at the front, Ramsden’s Choral Society recruits local boys and hires a new chorus master, Dr. Henry Guthrie (Fiennes)—brilliant, uncompromising, and carrying secrets from his past in Germany. As conscription looms, the town discovers that music may be their strongest answer to the devastation of war.
