If you missed The King's Speech in theaters, you can see it on the big screen at Livingston Public Library on Monday, May 16th. There is a matinee at 1:00 pm and an evening show at 7:00 PM.
It is the story of King George VI of Britain, his impromptu ascension to the throne and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch become worthy of it.
The film was nominated for 12 Academy Awards, and won 4, including Colin Firth for Best Actor, and Best Picture. It is rated R for some profanity and runs 118 minutes.
