ROCKLAND — The Audience will be presented as a special encore broadcast from London's National Theatre Tuesday, June 30, at 2 and 7 p.m. at the Strand Theatre, 345 Main St.

Helen Mirren reprises her Academy Award-winning role as Queen Elizabeth II in encore screenings of the original West End production, captured live in London in 2013 and featuring a Q & A with key members of the cast and creative team.

For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II has met with each of her 12 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 Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and right up to today's 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.

The Audience was written by Peter Morgan (The Queen), directed by two-time Tony Award-winner and Academy Award-nominated director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours) and presented in the West End by Matthew Byam Shaw for Playful Productions, Robert Fox and Andy Harries. Approximate running time is three hours, including one intermission and the captured-live Q & A that will follow the feature.

Tickets are $18, $15 for students, including college students with ID. For more information about this event and all upcoming live concerts, films, HD broadcasts and events at the Strand, visit rocklandstrand.com; call 594-0070, ext. 3; or email info@rocklandstrand.com.
