As royalprotocol meets unorthodox challenges, what emerges is an unlikely but deeplymeaningful friendship. Adapted from the Oscar-winning film, this exciting newproduction from the acclaimed Barn Theatre blends humour, heart and high stakesin a beloved drama about duty, courage and finding one’s voice.
