The Audience

One of the most-watched NT Live productions of all time. Academy Award winner Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the much-anticipated return of the Olivier Award-winning hit production that inspired Netflix’s The Crown.

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

The Choral (2025)

Cert: 15, 108 mins.
Director: Nicholas Hytner

They were divided by war. He united them in song.

Watch the Trailer:

Synopsis

1916. As war rages on the Western Front, the Choral Society in Ramsden, Yorkshire has lost most of its men to the army. The Choral’s ambitious committee, determined to press ahead, decides to recruit local young males to swell their ranks.

They must also engage a new chorus master, and despite their suspicions that he has something to hide, their best bet seems to be Dr. Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes) — driven, uncompromising, and recently returned from a career in, of all places, Germany.

The film reunites director Nicholas Hytner with writer Alan Bennett, the award-winning partnership responsible for The Lady in the Van, The History Boys, and The Madness of King George.

Verdict

Ralph Fiennes leads the choir in impressively unsentimental Alan Bennett fable.

– The Guardian

Ralph Fiennes leads an immaculate cast in wartime choir drama.

Bryan Cranston and Marianne Jean-Baptiste feature in this triumphantly acclaimed production of Arthur Miller’s classic

Watch the Trailer:

Synopsis

Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) feature in a five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge).

One family, the heart of the American dream. When wartime delivers profits for Joe, it comes at a price when his partner is charged with criminal manufacturing deals, and his eldest son goes missing in action. Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions?

Filmed live from the West End, Paapa Essiedu, Tom Glynn-Carney, and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) also feature in this disturbingly prescient play.

Stupenously well acted.

Fackham Hall (2026)

Cert: 15, 97 mins.
Director: Jim O’Hanlon

“It’s like Naked Gun in Black Tie”

Watch the Trailer:

Synopsis

A new porter forms an odd bond with the youngest daughter of a well-known UK family. As the Davenport family, headed by Lord and Lady Davenport, deals with the epic disaster of the wedding of their eldest daughter to her caddish cousin.

This Downton Abbey spoof has it all: mistaken identities, forbidden love, and one very inconvenient corpse turn Fackham Hall into total bedlam in this comedy of class, romance, manners, and mischief.

Verdict

More jokes than a container ship of Christmas Crackers.
