Summer Encore Series: The Audience

Pollak Theatre

Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren (The Queen), plays Queen Elizabeth II in the Tony Award®-winning production of The Audience.

For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II has met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. No one knows what they discuss, not even their spouses.

Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.
