Queen Elizabeth II (played by Helen Mirren) stares out into the distance, wearing a bright blue dress with a pearl brooch pinned on it just underneath her left shoulder. She holds a handbag on her left arm. We can see a young girl in the background, blurry but noticeably wearing a frilly white dress.

About NT Live: The Audience

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.

Please note: the screening on Sunday 1st March includes descriptive subtitles.
