‘The Audience’
Thursday 19th April
Corsley Reading Room
Doors open at 7 pm
film begins at 7.30 pm
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.
This film is a portrait of a dynamic and fiercely intelligent woman ‐ the symbol of a nation ‐ as she weathers decades of history and political strife. Every Tuesday afternoon for more than 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II has met with her Prime Ministers, 12 in all, in a private audience, a gesture of unity between government and Crown. An audience like no other in public life, because it is completely private and unrecorded. Both parties have an unspoken agreement never to repeat what is said. Not even to their spouses. Through moments of tension, negotiation, war, and unrest, these conversations with political leaders from Winston Churchill to Harold Wilson to Margaret Thatcher have remained a constant across the years. Playwright Peter Morgan re-imagines these meetings, giving us a glimpse at the Queen's role in guiding the circumstances that have shaped Great Britain, and a window into the mystery, compassion and humour of the woman behind the iconic crown.
From young mother to grandmother, these private audiences chart the arc of the second Elizabethan Age. Politicians come and go through the revolving door of electoral politics, while she remains constant — waiting to welcome her next Prime Minister…
Tickets available on the door, on the night (if available), or in advance from
Acres Supply (cash only please). Please note that tickets are non‐refundable

Corsley Photo Archive
Help us tell Corsley's story!
Houses are altered, pulled down or extended; landscapes change, trees are cut down, hedges disappear and, because we live here all the time, these changes go un-noticed. These alterations, recorded in the odd snap here and there, are often in the background. This project has been set up to document and display those changes for posterity.
We would do this by scanning, archiving and displaying the photographs and building a website. If the photos have creases or are a bit faded we can retouch the scanned image and supply a rejuvenated copy. If you are interested in this idea and can help as part of a study group or by letting us see your photographs, then do please get in touch with Phil Plumb or Liz Garrett.
