‘The King’s Speech’ at Latrobe Performing ArtsLatrobe Performing Arts presents ‘The King’s Speech’ (M) on Monday 1 August at 1pm and 7pm as part of its National Film & Sound Archive Big Screen Film Series. By Latrobe City - 27th July 2011 - Back to News ‘The King’s Speech’ is a moving and highly acclaimed film, portraying King George VI’s determination to overcome his stammer and lead his nation during a time of crisis. The film won four Academy Awards and a host of other awards and nominations.
The film recounts the story of King George VI (Colin Firth) and his impromptu ascension to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII (Guy Pearce). To overcome a severe stutter he engages the help of Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) who helps the unsure monarch become worthy of being King. The film was produced by Australian Emile Sherman, directed by Tom Hooper and written by David Seidler.
Latrobe City’s performing arts and venues coordinator, Kathleen Roberts, said that the film will screen twice.

The film attracted widespread critical acclaim. Screening the movie at both 1pm and 7pm will enable all interested community members to attend.
"The film is the fourth and final movie in the successful Big Screen Film Series and we are currently in the early stages of putting together the program for next year," Ms Roberts explained.
