To be consulted, to advise and to warn - based on the private weekly audience given by the monarch to the prime minister.
If you’d prefer to attend a performance with a more socially distanced audience, we will be selling our matinee and Monday performances to a maximum of half capacity. At these performances we’ll ensure households are seated separately in the auditorium.
This production is presented by arrangement with Independent Talent Group Limited
Set between 1952 and 2013, The Audience imagines the weekly unrecorded meetings the Queen holds with her Prime Minister. We meet eight PMs, from Eden to Cameron, and her relationship with each is revealed, as well as Her Majesty’s eye-opening thoughts on her younger self and her fears for the future, now more poignant than ever.
Special thanks to Costume Workshop, Shepperton Wig Hire, the Abbey Theatre, HD&OS and to the Queen’s Mum, Pearl Piggott, for making 2 dresses.
