成人B站 SCREENS is collaborating with Sigma Tau Delta and The Honors Student Association to show the 鈥渇unny and truthful鈥� (The Times) recorded-live production of 鈥淭he Audience鈥� performed in London鈥檚 West End. Open to the public, the screening is $5 for students and $10 for members of the community.
For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II has met with each of her twelve Prime Ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. No one knows what they discuss, not even their spouses.
From the old warrior Winston Churchill, to the Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher, from Tony Blair right up to today鈥檚 meetings with the current incumbent David Cameron, the Queen advises her Prime Ministers on all 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.
This showing is the third in a series of NT Live productions presented by 成人B站 SCREENS this summer.
