Alice Silverman Theatre
The Audience
Returning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the Olivier and Tony Award®-winning hit production, directed by Stephen Daldry.
For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.
Additionally worth note: Peter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play which was captured live from London’s West End in 2013. It also went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.
Run time: 2 hours 48 minutes.
Content Advisory: Strong language, as well as moderate sex and drug references, and mature thematic elements are included. Also references to suicide, self-harm, and historical depictions of political discrimination
