NT Live Screening – The Audience

In collaboration with National Theatre Live, Garter Lane Arts Centre presents: The Audience by Peter Morgan

Note: The Audience is a screening of the live theatrical performance from London’s Gielgud Theatre in 2013

Garter Lane Arts Centre is delighted to collaborate with National Theatre Live, bringing the best of live Theatre to our cinema screen.

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.

One of the most-watched National Theatre Live productions 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.
