The Barn Theatre Theatre in Cirencester, in partnership with Tiny Giant Entertainment, has
announced that their new production of The King’s Speech, directed by Loveday
Ingram, will tour the UK in 2027.
This newly announced tour of the play will open in Oxford on 11 January 2027 and touring through to the end of June. The tour will visit Coventry, Cheltenham, Clwyd, Darlington, Blackpool, Bath, Guildford, Aberdeen, Nottingham, Leeds, Eastbourne, Leicester, Bromley,

Adapted by David Seidler from his Academy Award-winning screenplay, The King’s Speech follows the story of the future King George VI as he attempts overcome his stammer with the help of speech therapist Lionel Logue.
Talking about the news, Loveday Ingram said “I am delighted to be invited back to The Barn Theatre to direct The King’s Speech for them this Autumn. I love the film and this stage version brings the story to life with huge heart. It is a deeply moving story about human connection, courage and friendship – an intimate story of trust that so poignantly shows that true leadership comes from embracing our humanity, rather than striving for perfection. I am much looking forward to bring it to life with Iwan and his fantastic team.”
Casting and full creative team have yet to be announced.
