MEMO Arts Centre, Barry, will be screening an encore showing of the National Theatre Live performance of The Audience (12A).

Audiences can see the show on Thursday, June 9 at 7pm.

Helen Mirren reprises her Academy Award winning role as Queen Elizabeth II in the highly-anticipated West End production of The Audience, broadcast as part of National Theatre Live.

For 60years Elizabeth II has met each of her 12 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 the Downing Street incumbents and their Queen.

From Churchill to Cameron, each prime minister has used these private conversations as a sounding board and a confessional – sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive.

Tickets to see The Audience cost £13 and £11 for concessions.

Then on Monday, June 27, they will screen the Royal Opera Live performance of Werther.

Based on Goethe’s novel The Sorrows of Young Werther, Massenet’s opera tells the story of the poet Werther’s hopeless love for Charlotte, who is committed to another man.

The music is full of lyrical beauty, passion and emotional fervour, – small wonder that Werther is often considered to be the composer’s finest work.

The Royal Opera’s music director Antonio Pappano returns to conduct film, theatre and opera director Benoit Jacquot’s classic production.

Italian tenor Vittorio Grigolo stars as Werther, alongside Joyce DiDonato, who sings her first Charlotte (one of the great French mezzo roles) in this staging.

Tickets cost £15 and £12 for concessions.
