About this Event
National Theatre Live 2026
The Audience
by Peter Morgan
directed by Stephen Daldry
Filmed live from London’s West End in 2013
One of the most watched NT Live releases 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.
