The rebroadcast of the play returns to cinemas after over a decade. Helen Mirren stars as Queen Elizabeth II in the Olivier and Tony Award®-winning hit production directed by Stephen Daldry. For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II held weekly, confidential meetings with each of Britain's 12 prime ministers. This meeting is known as an audience. The Queen has advised prime ministers from Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher to David Cameron on public and personal matters. During private audiences, we can take a closer look at the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped the monarchy. The Netflix phenomenon, The Crown, the success of Peter Morgan, is based on the hit play, which was broadcast live from London's West End in 2013 and became one of NT Live's most watched productions.
