    Acclaimed play from the U.K. debuts on big screen at Mary D. Fisher Theatre

    logo_SIFFSedona AZ (June 13, 2013) – The National Theatre of London returns to Sedona on Thursday and Friday, June 27 and 28 when the Sedona International Film Festival hosts the big screen premiere of the acclaimed British stage production “The Audience” — starring Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy-winner Helen Mirren. There will be two shows each day: 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. at the festival’s Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    Helen Mirren reprises her Academy Award-winning role as Queen Elizabeth II in the highly-anticipated West End production of “The Audience”.

    20130613_theaudienceFor sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve 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.

    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.

    “The Audience” reunites writer Peter Morgan and Academy Award-winning actress Helen Mirren following their collaboration on the critically-acclaimed movie sensation “The Queen”. The play is directed by Academy Award-nominated director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours).

    “The Audience” is garnering four- and five-star reviews from every major publication in London. Critics and audiences are raving about the production and Helen Mirren’s performance as the Queen.

    ‘Wholly tremendous.’ — Daily Telegraph

    War
    War
    By Tommy Acosta
    War…What is it good for? Obviously, it is good for those who profit from destruction and the taking of human life. And what is the common denominator, the impetus for war throughout the centuries? It’s about the acquisition of land, by force, deceit or any other means possible. During the holidays I went to a party where this retired couple were recounting a land dispute they were having with their neighbor. It seems their neighbor was claiming an extra six feet on their property line and the animosity had grown so strong that they were now in court trying to settle whose six feet of land it was. Prior to the dispute they had been friendly but now they had become arch enemies, all for a tiny piece of land. Read more→
