The Audience
By Peter Morgan
Directed by Stephen Daldry
Returning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the Olivier and Tony Award® -winning hit production, directed by Stephen Daldry.
For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.
Peter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play that was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.

The Audience
Gan Peter Morgan
Cyfarwyddwr: Stephen Daldry
Gan ddychwelyd i sinemâu am y tro cyntaf ers dros ddegawd, mae Helen Mirren yn chwarae rhan y Frenhines Elizabeth II mewn cynhyrchiad llwyddiannus a enillodd Wobrau Olivier a Tony®, wedi'i gyfarwyddo gan Stephen Daldry.
Am 60 mlynedd, cyfarfu'r Frenhines Elizabeth II â phob un o'i 12 prif weinidog mewn cyfarfod wythnosol preifat. Gelwir y cyfarfod hwn yn y ‘The Audience’. O Winston Churchill i Margaret Thatcher a David Cameron, cynghorodd y Frenhines ei phrif weinidogion ar faterion cyhoeddus a phersonol. Trwy'r cyfarfodydd preifat hyn, gwelwn gipolwg ar y fenyw y tu ôl i'r goron ac yn dyst i'r eiliadau a greodd frenhines.
Roedd ffenomen Netflix Peter Morgan, The Crown, yn seiliedig ar y ddrama boblogaidd hon a ddaeth yn fyw o’r West End yn Llundain yn 2013 ac a aeth ymlaen i fod yn un o gynyrchiadau mwyaf poblogaidd NT Live.
