The Audience, Gielgud Theatre, London

First there was the movie, The Queen (2006), Stephen Frears's elegant apologia for what went on between monarch and Prime Minister in 1997 in the year of Princess Diana's death.

Now in the cleverest of film-to-stage sequels that will make republicans despair even as West End audiences are giving standing ovations, writer Peter Morgan has created an even more sympathetic account of the monarchy, enlarging upon one of that film's central themes: the PM's weekly audience with the Queen.
