The King’s Speech

By David Seidler

Directed by Lexi von Hoffmann

Prince Albert, a shy, unassuming man with a debilitating stammer is forced by family, tradition, and political pressure to assume the role of king he never sought when his self-assured, glamorous, but self-absorbed older brother abdicates to marry an American divorcee.

Can an Australian failed actor and self-declared speech therapist help him to overcome his stammer and fully assume his new role?
