The Audience

National Theatre Live

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.

In Their Own Words – Rachael Beck

"In Their Own Words celebrates the songs and stories of twenty trailblazing Australian women; some whom are recognised, many whom are not. Rachael weaves verbatim words and anecdotes collected from women including Ita Buttrose, Tanya Plibersek, Marcia Langton and Carlotta, with the music of famous Australian songwriters such as Missy Higgins, Kate Miller-Heidke, Kate Ceberano, and Dami Im, to create a powerful tapestry of female strength and achievement. From artists to scientists, politicians to humanitarians, these are stories of triumph, resilience, and breakthrough – mostly never before heard on stage.
