Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the Tony-winning production that inspired the hit series The Crown. For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers—Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher to David Cameron—in a private weekly meeting to advise on matters both public and personal. Through these meetings, known as The Audience, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.
