Peter Morgan’s internationally acclaimed drama 'The Audience' turned the stage of the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre into a spectacular, high-stakes historical playground of British political history in 2015. The brilliant plot charts six decades of private, confidential weekly meetings—known as audiences—held inside Buckingham Palace between Queen Elizabeth II and her rotating roster of Prime Ministers, ranging from the intimidating Winston Churchill to the contemporary David Cameron, unpeeling the private woman behind the crown. Directed by Stephen Daldry, the blockbuster production achieved theatrical immortality due to Dame Helen Mirren's monumental, Tony-winning performance reprising her iconic portrayal of the monarch, supported by Richard McCabe.
