Britain's What's On Event Guide
The King's Speech
The world is listening…
A country on the precipice of another terrible war. An abdicated king. A constitutional crisis. And the only man who can provide hope for the nervous British public is Bertie — a man who is shy, unprepared for monarchy and, worst of all, has a debilitating speech impediment.
With the future of the monarchy, and Britain itself, on the line, an historic radio address looms over a man who can barely stammer through full sentences. Desperate, Bertie and his family turn to an unconventional speech therapist from Australia to turn him into the king Britain can believe in.
Starring Stefan Denis (Neighbours) as Lionel Logue and George Rainsford (Casualty) as Bertie King George VI, this gripping drama follows the unlikely friendship that emerges as royal protocol meets unorthodox challenges.
Adapted from the Oscar-winning film, this exciting new production from the acclaimed Barn Theatre blends humour, heart and high stakes in a beloved drama about duty, courage and finding one's voice.
