What to expect
Stephen Daldry directs Helen Mirren in this National Theatre production, filmed for NT Live. The play imagines the private weekly meetings between Queen Elizabeth II and her successive prime ministers across her reign. Mirren plays the Queen as a figure of wry restraint, listening more than she speaks, while the PMs cycle through the room with their agendas and anxieties. The pleasure is in watching a skilled actor hold the stage through small shifts in posture and silence. The Hong Kong release is a single screening on 13 June 2026, rated I. The 176-minute running time includes an interval. Traditional Chinese subtitles are provided.
