All screenings of My Beautiful Laundrette will be preceded by a short recorded introduction from director Stephen Frears and lead actor Gordon Warnecke.

Set in a Pakistani community of London, My Beautiful Laundrette follows the fortunes of handsome young Omar who, together with his English friend Johnny, takes over a run-down laundrette given to him by his rich uncle.

Together Johnny and Omar transform the laundrette into a gaudy, neon-lit palace complete with muzak and video screens.

Against a background of racial tension and poverty, their own relationship, portrayed with tenderness and passion, blossoms to love.

Park Circus bring Stephen Frear’s Oscar nominated classic of 1980s British cinema back to our screens to celebrate the films 40th anniversary.
