THE AUDIENCE - PETER MORGAN TASCHENBUCH

For sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve prime ministers in a weekly audience at
Buckingham Palace  a meeting like no other in British public life. It is private. Both parties
have an unspoken agreement never to repeat what is said. The Audience breaks this contract of
silence. It imagines a series of pivotal meetings between the Downing Street incumbents and
their queen. From Churchill to Cameron  each prime minister has used these private
conversations as a sounding board and a confessional - sometimes intimate  sometimes explosive.
From young mother to grandmother  these private audiences chart the arc of the second
Elizabethan Age. Politicians come and go through the revolving door of electoral politics 
while she remains constant  waiting to welcome her next prime minister. The Audience by Peter
Morgan premiered at the Gielgud Theatre  London  in March 2013. It returned to the Apollo
Theatre  London  in this revised version in April 2015. 'This is something rarer: funny and
truthful  goodhearted  spiky  full of surprises. I loved every minute... there are stunning
political moments... It's all fiction  of course  and often painfully funny  yet is expresses
large and serious truths.' The Times
