St. Trinian’s

St. Trinian’s

It’s no more Mr. Nice Guy for Colin Firth in this anarchic British comedy. The former Mr. Darcy stars as an uptight education minister who wants to shut down the fun at St. Trinian’s all-girls school.

ST TRINIAN’S features some of Britain’s best talent, including Lena Headley, Russell Brand, Stephen Fry, Celia Imrie, and Rupert Everett, who dons drag as the school’s headmistress. Inspired by the work of artist Ronald Searle, this comedy follows in a series of films about the girls’ school, including THE BELLES OF ST. TRINIAN’S.
