About

This intimate and political fresco brings together an exceptional duo for the first time: Francis Huster and Philippe Torreton.

Alongside them, Delphine Depardieu and Gretel Delattre complete this exceptional cast.

In 1930s England, the Duke of York, paralyzed by a debilitating stutter, finds himself thrust onto the throne against his will. His encounter with an Australian speech therapist with unconventional methods will turn his life upside down, and perhaps change the fate of a kingdom on the brink of chaos.

Between family tensions, the rise of totalitarianism, and the birth of an unlikely friendship, The King's Speech is a masterful work about courage, resilience, and finding one's own voice.

Our take on this event

Experience a riveting historical drama where a monarch faces his greatest insecurity with the help of an unorthodox mentor. This powerful performance brings an intimate and political struggle to the stage, showcasing an incredible chemistry between two legendary actors.
