The Audience

by Peter Morgan
directed by Stephen Daldry

Returning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the  Olivier and Tony Award®-winning hit production, directed by Stephen Daldry. 

For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on 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.

Peter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play that was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.

Exhibition On Screen: Turner & Constable

Directed by David Bickerstaff

The incredible story of Britain’s greatest landscape artists and their fierce rivalry, made in close collaboration with Tate Britain to celebrate the 250th anniversary of their births.

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in February so that you can enjoy both together. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.

Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’.

Marking 250 years since their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable's intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts.

The Choral is a 2025 British film set in 1916 Yorkshire, where a local choral society recruits teenage boys to replace the men who have volunteered for World War I. Directed by Nicholas Hytner and written by Alan Bennett, the story follows the chorus master, the driven Dr. Guthrie (played by Ralph Fiennes), as he works with the young choir. The film explores how music helps the community cope with war, desire, and uncertainty, focusing on both the humor and humanity in their response to their future.

by Christopher Hampton 
based on the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
directed by Marianne Elliott 

BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin.

Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire.  But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.

WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU’VE BEEN TOLD IS A LIE?

The Forbidden Realm of Conspiracies: Uncovered is a bold, immersive theatre experience that pulls you deep into the world of conspiracy theories, hidden narratives, and forbidden questions - brought to life with cinematic visuals, powerful sound, and live audience moments.

This isn’t a lecture. And it isn’t here to tell you what to believe. It’s an experience designed to unsettle certainty, challenge perception, and make you question how easily belief is shaped.

But… THIS IS RISKY.
These are the kinds of ideas people avoid in polite conversation. The kinds of questions that make rooms go quiet. But here, they’re brought into the open - not to give you answers, but to let you experience the discomfort, the doubt, and the uncertainty for yourself.

Through striking visuals, immersive sound, and a tense, atmospheric journey, you’ll be drawn into an experience that feels intimate, unsettling, and impossible to ignore. Many audience members describe leaving in silence…still thinking.

Tickets are limited. And they’re selling fast. This is not a show everyone will be comfortable with - and that’s exactly the point.
