The King’s Speech

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

Britain is in crisis, and so is The King. As Hitler threatens Europe, a concerned nation needs to hear from its monarch. But facing the biggest moment of his life, King George VI is unable to find his voice. Based on the Academy Award-winning film starring Colin Firth, this is the moving story of how The King overcame his fear of public speaking through the help of Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue The King’s Speech details the unlikely relationship between royalty and a tough Australian speech therapist, who empowers the stammering future King with the ability to speak to, and for, the nation.
