The acclaimed theatrical production 'The Audience', which inspired the series 'The Crown' and starred Helen Mirren, is returning to cinemas after its historic premiere in London in 2013. According to the Argentine News Agency, the play will be screened again in a cinematic format on February 26, 2026, as part of the National Theatre Live season, and is expected to break the attendance record. The play is written by Peter Morgan and directed by Stephen Daldry, and it narrates the weekly meetings that Queen Elizabeth II held with her prime ministers for sixty years, from Winston Churchill to David Cameron. The duration is almost 3 hours, with intimate scenes and performances that blend politics, history, and part of the queen's private life, which today has a different meaning after her death on September 8, 2022. The original production was filmed live from the West End in London in 2013 and became one of the most-watched titles in the history of National Theatre Live. From the theater, they assure that they want to bring these unrepeatable performances to all cinemas in the world.
