It is Coronation Day, 1937. As the country celebrates, the new
monarch must face one of the most difficult challenges he has ever
encountered: the dreaded BBC Radio Broadcast to the Nation. Only
one man can prepare the terrified king for his ordeal at the
microphone Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue. With his
unconventional methods such as tongue-twisters, breathing
exercises, and Shakespearean quotations, and a variety of teaching
styles ranging from empathy to bullying, Logue aims to give George
VI the confidence to navigate the minefield ahead. As the two men
wrestle with the intricacies of the speech, their conversation
ranges from the Abdication Crisis to the king s childhood and his
uneasy relationship with his father and the king s dependence on
and deep friendship with Logue becomes apparent. Starring Alex
Jennings as George VI and Trevor Littledale as Logue, this is a
riveting portrait of a prominent man at a pivotal moment in his own
life and in the history of the twentieth century."
