National Theatre Live: The Audience

Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth II in the theatre show that inspired The Crown...

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.

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. Now is your chance to see it again as events take place to mark the centenary of the birth of Queen Elizabeth II.

Tickets: £15.50 standard; £11.60 under-26

Screening starts at 7.30pm, doors and bar open at 6.45pm.
