In England’s darkest hour, the nation calls for a king. The prince must find his voice.

London, 1936. Albert must step forward and save his family. The Windsors are caught in a constitutional crisis, the British Empire is relying on him and World War II is looming. But first, he must conquer his stutter and conquer his fear. This is the inspiring story of how a transformational friendship helped a man find a voice – and save a nation.

The film, starring Colin Firth, won four Academy Awards, the West End production was a four-star hit and the season at The Court Theatre in Christchurch was an extended sell-out.
