NT Live: The Audience June 16, 2013

The Modlin Center for the Arts is pleased to announce NT Live's The Audience presented in HD live on Thursday, June 13, 2013 at 2 pm with an encore broadcast on Sunday, June 16, 2013 at 3 pm in Camp Concert Hall, Booker Hall of Music. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 15, 2013 at 10am.

Helen Mirren reprises her Academy Award winning role as Queen Elizabeth II in the highly-anticipated West End production of The Audience.

For sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve Prime Ministers in a weekly audience at Buckingham Palace – a meeting like no other in British public life – it is private. Both parties have an unspoken agreement never to repeat what is said. Not even to their spouses.

The Audience breaks this contract of silence – and imagines a series of pivotal meetings between the Downing Street incumbents and their Queen. From Churchill to Cameron, each Prime Minister has used these private conversations as a sounding board and a confessional – sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive.
Presented in collaboration with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
