Review: THE KING’S SPEECH at The Watermill Theatre, Newbury

An excellent production, with a superb cast that brings out the humanity that often lies behind epoch defining historical events.
★★★★☆

Ms. Arnstein wrestles the ogre to the ground, and tells it, ‘You’re up against people and we’re not going to let you walk over us!’ ★★★★☆

Whilst in some way a spin-off from the success of the television serial this show stands alone as an artistic creation and spectacle. ★★★★☆

This technically proficient production takes a while to warm up and some key ideas lack clarity, but it packs a powerful punch. ★★★☆☆

Running harder, still failing, this is a game (capitalism) that only a few can claim success playing. ★★★★☆

Writing of a very high quality, and that high standard is matched in Frankie Hart’s captivating performance. ★★★★☆
