The King's Speech: The Shooting Script

0/5 ( ratings)

After the death of his father King George V and the scandalous abdication of his brother King Edward VIII , Bertie who has suffered from a debilitating speech impediment all his life, is suddenly crowned King George VI of England. With his country on the brink of war and in desperate need of a leader, his wife, Elizabeth , the future Queen Mother, arranges for her husband to see an eccentric speech therapist, Lionel Logue . After a rough start, the two delve into an unorthodox course of treatment and eventually form an unbreakable bond. With the support of Logue, his family, his government and Winston Churchill , the King will overcome his stammer and deliver a radio-address that inspires his people and unites them in battle.

As David Seidler writes in his introduction, "The King's Speech is about a great deal more than a speech impediment. It is about friendship. I'm talking about mentoring and support and a great deal of humor. We lose these deep, meaningful friendships at our peril."

The Newmarket Press Book includes:

A fascinating introduction by screenwriter David Seidler about how and why an idea that came to him almost thirty years ago evolved into the award-winning screenplay
Complete Shooting Script
Complete cast and crew credits

Language: English

Pages: 128
