Academy Award winner Helen Mirren returns as Queen Elizabeth II in the much-anticipated cinema return of The Audience, the Olivier and Tony Award®-winning hit production directed by Stephen Daldry. The Audience is one of the most-watched NT Live productions of all time and remains a major title for theatre, royal drama and British history audiences

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.

Peter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play that was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.
