The National Theatre Live production of successful West End play, The Audience, returns by popular demand to Cinema Nouveau and screens on 5, 6, 9 and 10 October.

Written by Peter Morgan (The Queen) and directed by Stephan Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours), the film stars actress Helen Mirren and rescreens in Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria and Cape Town.

The Audience invites viewers into weekly meetings and discussions between Queen Elizabeth II and her prime ministers that, for 60 years, have been strictly confidential. Through intimate interactions the Queen reveals parts of her character as she advises and engages with the likes of Churchill and Cameron.

In coming months, Cinema Nouveau screens a number of National Theatre Live Shakespeare productions in South Africa.

Othello, the ageless tale of destruction, power and jealousy plays out in Nicholas Hytner s production which screens on 19, 20, 23 and 24 October. Macbeth shows on 2, 3, 6 and 7 November and portrays the consequences of destructive ambition. Vengeance and political manipulation feature in Donmar Warehouse s production of Coriolanus that screens on 1, 2, 5 and 6 March 2014.
