Nationwide tour begins in Cirencester
09 OCTOBER – 07 NOVEMBER at Barn Theatre, Cirencester
Stefan Dennis (Neighbours and Strictly ’25) stars as Lionel Logue, and George Rainsford (Casualty, This is England) stars as King George VI in The Barn’s brand-new production of David Seidler’s play, The King’s Speech. The show premieres in Cirencester, before embarking on a nationwide tour in January 2027.
A country on the precipice of another terrible war. An abdicated king. A constitutional crisis. And the only man who can provide hope for the nervous British public is Bertie – a man who is shy, unprepared for monarchy and, worst of all, has a debilitating speech impediment.
With the future of the monarchy, and Britain itself, on the line, an historic radio address looms over a man who can barely stammer through full sentences. Desperate, Bertie and his family turn to an unconventional speech therapist from Australia to turn him into the king Britain can believe in.
As royal protocol meets unorthodox challenges, what emerges is an unlikely but deeply meaningful friendship. Adapted from the Oscar-winning film, this exciting new production from the acclaimed Barn Theatre blends humour, heart and high stakes in a beloved drama about duty, courage and finding one’s voice.
