HD Encore! Helen Mirren in The Audience
Posted July 9, 2015 at 5:49 am by Tim Dustrude
Helen Mirren’s Tony Award-winning role in The Audience has just closed on Broadway…but a Friday Harbor audience will get a chance to watch her as Queen Elizabeth II at San Juan Community Theatre on Saturday, July 11 at 7:00 pm.
National Theatre Live has released a limited number of Peter Morgan’s play for an encore HD presentation, featuring the world premiere of this particular play from London’s Gielgud Theatre, as it was originally recorded live on June 13, 2013.
The comedy/drama centers on the 60 years that Elizabeth II met each of her 12 Prime Ministers in a weekly audience at Buckingham Palace, with both parties having an unspoken agreement never to repeat what was said, not even to their spouses. The Audience imagines a series of pivotal meetings between the Downing Street incumbents and their Queen.
The encore screening will include an exclusive “In Conversation” with Stephen Daldry and Helen Mirren.
Tickets for The Audience are $15 for adults and $10 for student reserved. The SJCT box office (378-3210) is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 11 am to 4 pm and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets are also available on-line at www.sjctheatre.org.
