WORLD PREMIERE OF DAVID SEIDLER’S ORIGINAL PLAY WHICH INSPIRED THE OSCAR WINNING FILM
By David Seidler
Directed by Adrian Noble
Cast includes Charles Edwards as King George VI, Jonathan Hyde as Lionel Logue, Emma Fielding as Queen Elizabeth, Ian McNeice as Winston Churchill and Joss Ackland as King George V
“What’s the one essential thing a King must do? He must BELIEVE he is King”
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.

Reviews
Tuesday 24th April 2012
It was short, it was bright and entertaining and it was brilliantly staged and expertly played. A really great little production for the young ones to go and see.

The production is first rate and Guildford’s Yvonne Arnaud should feel privileged to premier this production. If you cannot see it in Guildford, make sure you see it somewhere else.

This new suite of original wood-engraved prints by Sue Scullard has been inspired by Flora Thompson’s texts.
