THE PENGUIN LESSONS

Tuesday 9th September

Based on the true-life story of Tom Michell, a disillusioned teacher who takes a job in Peronist Argentina in 1976, teaching English at a stuffy private school for the sons of wealthy Argentinians and expatriates.

On a holiday to Uruguay, he rescues a penguin from an oil slick on the beach and finds himself responsible for this bedraggled bird. He ends up smuggling it back to Argentina with him where, named Juan Salvador, it becomes the unhappy and lonely man’s feathered friend – actually, his only friend. But all this happens in tandem with Michell’s personal involvement in combating the horror of the Argentinian junta in which innocent people get “disappeared” by the secret police.

Despite brilliant performances from both Steve Coogan as teacher Tom Michell and Jonathan Pryce as his Headteacher, the star of the show is the real-life penguin (not a CGI version).
