SYNOPSIS
Bertie, Duke of York, as the decent and faithful second son of George V, was never destined to be King. And maybe that was just as well because his severe stammer meant that public speaking was a nightmare for him. That is until his flighty older brother announces he is to put love above duty and abdicate from the throne. Bertie’s wife Elizabeth, (later known as the Queen Mother), decides to take matters into her own hands and introduces him to Lionel Logue, a somewhat eccentric Australian speech specialist. What unfolds is a heart-warming and heroic tale, based on the multi-award winning film of the same name; the inspirational story of one man trying to find his voice.
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International.
