NTLive 'The Audience' to be Released on May 1st (Fri), the Masterpiece of Contemporary British Theater that Enthralled the World Revives on Screen! <Japanese Trailer Completed>

NTLive 'The Audience'. National Theatre Live (NTLive)'s representative blockbuster 'The Audience' is a supreme human drama created by Peter Morgan, globally known as the screenwriter of the film 'The Queen' and the Netflix original series 'The Crown'. This work depicts the behind-the-scenes of the 'audiences' that Queen Elizabeth II held with successive prime ministers for 60 years of her reign. By constitutional provision, the content of these conversations is never recorded and is forbidden to be disclosed to others. Peter Morgan, who researched historical materials related to the 'audiences' and wrote the screenplay, has also won many awards in the film industry for films such as 'The Queen' (2006) and 'Frost/Nixon' (2008). Through his skillful screenplay, the interactions between the Queen and the men and women burdened by the pressure of leading the country, from Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and up to the present day, are recreated. Through her encouraging, sharply questioning, and sometimes humorous confrontations with her prime ministers, the Queen's struggles as a woman and her pride as a monarch who upholds tradition are vividly brought to light. Furthermore, directed by Stephen Daldry, who has created numerous masterpieces such as the film 'Billy Elliot' and the play 'Skylight', it is a piece of entertainment that fuses the weight of history with exquisite humor. The lead actress is the great actress Helen Mirren, who won both the Laurence Olivier Award and the Tony Award for Best Actress for this work. Her overwhelming performance, as if possessed by Queen Elizabeth II herself, invites the audience deep into Buckingham Palace in London. Don't miss this precious theatrical release of a masterpiece that will be passed down in the theater world. 'The Audience' Trailer. Released from May 1st (Fri) at: Tokyo) TOHO Cinemas Hibiya.
