“Helen Mirren makes The Audience a right-royal night out.” – The Independent

Returning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade, don’t miss the Olivier and Tony Award®–winning hit that inspired Netflix’s The Crown. Helen Mirren is “superb” as Queen Elizabeth II in one of the most-watched National Theatre Live productions of all time.

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.

Filmed live from London’s West End in 2013.
