Ganz großes Theater: The Audience | National Theatre Live

Helen Mirren stars in the Olivier and Tony Award®-winning hit production *Queen Elizabeth II*, directed by Stephen Daldry.

For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her twelve prime ministers for a weekly private conversation. This meeting is known as “The Audience.” From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher to David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on both public and personal matters. Through these private audiences, we gain insight into the life of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.

Peter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon “The Crown” is based on this hit play, which was recorded live in London’s West End in 2013 and is now one of NT Live’s most-watched productions.
