NT LIVE : The Audience (12A)

National Theatre Live : The Audience (12A)

he Audience
by Peter Morgan
directed by Stephen Daldry

One of the most-watched NT Live productions of all time. Academy Award winner Helen Mirren plays
Queen Elizabeth II in the much-anticipated return of the Olivier Award-winning hit production that inspired Netflix’s The
Crown.

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.
