NT Live: The Audience (Encore)

1 upcoming performance in New York

Screened at Symphony Space, **NT Live: The Audience (Encore)** brings the National Theatre’s filmed stage production back to a New York cinema-style setting. The play follows Queen Elizabeth II as she meets a succession of British prime ministers in private weekly audiences, using the ritual to mark shifts in power, policy, and public mood. In NYC, the encore functions as a record of how live theatre circulates through the city via broadcast, widening access beyond a single run. Its restraint becomes the point: history is shown as conversation, not spectacle.
