Theatre production of 'The King's Speech', adapted from the Oscar-winning film, with Stefan Dennis as Lionel Logue and George Rainsford as King George VI.
The King's Speech comes to Salisbury Playhouse on Tuesday 4 May 2027, with the curtain going up at 7:30pm. It's a stage adaptation of the Oscar-winning film, which took home four Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director, and seven BAFTAs including Best Film. This production is staged by the acclaimed Barn Theatre and presented by Wiltshire Creative.
The story is set in 1936, when King Edward VIII abdicated for the love of Wallis Simpson, leaving his brother Bertie to be crowned King George VI. Bertie and his wife Elizabeth, the future Queen Mother, seek out Lionel Logue, an unconventional Australian speech therapist and failed actor, in a Harley Street office in London. From there, the two embark on an extraordinary journey to overcome the King's stammer ahead of a historic radio address. It's a drama about duty, courage and finding one's voice, and it blends humour and heart with high stakes.
On stage, Stefan Dennis plays Lionel Logue and George Rainsford takes on the role of Bertie, King George VI. The play has earned some strong praise along the way, with The Daily Telegraph calling it 'elegant, lucid and witty' and The Guardian describing it as 'a highly enjoyable play'.
