Description
The Audience by Peter Morgan For sixty years, Elizabeth II has met each of her prime ministers in a weekly audience at Buckingham Palace. This private meeting has been a unique aspect of British public life, with both parties agreeing not to repeat what is said. The Audience breaks this contract of silence, imagining pivotal meetings between Downing Street incumbents and their queen. These private conversations have played a significant role in shaping the second Elizabethan Age. From young mother to grandmother, the audiences chart the evolution of politics over time. Politicians come and go through electoral politics, while she remains constant, waiting to welcome her next prime minister. The book offers a unique insight into the inner workings of British politics, revealing the intimate and sometimes explosive nature of these private meetings.
