For sixty years, Elizabeth II (Helen Mirren) 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. Not even to their spouses. 'The Audience' breaks this contract of silence and imagines a series of pivotal meetings between Downing Street incumbents and their Queen. From Churchill (Edward Fox) to Cameron (Rufus Wright), each Prime Minister has used these private conversations as a sounding board and a confessional, sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive.
