Bringing digital cinema and theatre to the heart of the Peak District

National Theatre Encore

The Audience

 

Returning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in this Olivier and Tony Award winning hit production, written by Peter Morgan and directed by Stephen Daldry.

For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her twelve 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.

This production was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.

 

Doors open 15 minutes before the performance commences.
