When King Edward VIII abdicates for the love of Wallis Simpson, his terrified brother Bertie is thrust into the spotlight and crowned King George VI of England. In a time of national crisis a debilitating speech impediment leaves Bertie incapable of speaking for his country on the brink of World War II.

In a room at 146 Harley Street his wife Elizabeth, (the future Queen Mother), has arranged for him to meet the maverick Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue. Breaking all royal protocol the King and his oddball therapist embark together on an unconventional journey to correct the King's stammer and help him deliver the radio-address that will inspire his country in battle.

Directed by Adrian Noble, former Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, and written by Academy Award Winner David Seidler, this is a theatrical treat not to be missed!

The Kings Speech's Reviews

'A sheerly accomplished piece of staging'The Guardian
'It's a warm, compassionate, humorous script'The Stage
'Sporting a tremendous cast of seasoned actors, it is a model of clarity'Daily Express
'For my money, the original play is better than the film: more about Logue's long-suffering wife, more about the politics, and a fantastic, moving, funny, credible central performance from Charles Edwards tells the story of George VI and how his disabling stammer (and the stiffness of old-fashioned royalty) were cured by a self-confident untrained Australian speech therapist. Beautifully staged, memorable'The Times
