Mrs Henderson Presents

Following the death of her husband, Mrs Henderson (Judi Dench) is encouraged to take up a quiet hobby, however she has quite a different idea. She buys a run-down Soho club, and hires theatre manager Bob Hoskins to run it. All is going well until every other club in town copies their acts, and it is then that Mrs Henderson has a scandalous idea. As the Nazis are bombing London and the free world hangs in the balance, the show must go on. And the clothes...must come off. A touching, funny, musically-fringed drama that will capture both your heart and your imagination.
