Third Rail’s partnership with PAM CUT’s Tomorrow Theater, a 247 seat movie house on SE Division St., continues in a couple weeks with a screening of the beloved NT Live title “The Audience.” Tickets are available now for the screening on Wednesday, June 17 at 7:00 pm: https://third-rail-rep.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/ #/events/a0SUv000000oohZMAQ

Starring Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth II, Peter Morgan’s “The Audience” was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions—and served as the basis for the Netflix phenomenon “The Crown.”

ABOUT THE SHOW:
For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.

“This show demands your full engagement. Like the crew on that station, you won’t make it out unscathed, and you will probably find yourself still processing it days later.” –Krista Garver writing for BroadwayWorld

Check out Garver’s full review of “X” by Alistair McDowall at the link in our bio. This production is quintessential Third Rail: challenging, thought-provoking theatre that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Tickets are going fast. Reserve yours today.

X is not the type of show you sit back and enjoy. It will put you on edge, drag you into dark places, and leave you thinking for days. If you're the kind of theatergoer who considers that a feature rather than a bug, this one's for you.

“The combination of the twists on our collective cultural reference points and the unnerving way the play unfolds make for a fascinating trip through space and time, one that morphs into a meditation on truth and memory,” writes Laura Wheatman Hill in her review of “X” for Willamette Week—a review that also praises the production’s bracing and powerful performances, direction, and design.

Check out the full review (though tread carefully—minor spoilers are included)!

Alistair McDowall’s “X” continues performances tomorrow night… Don’t wait to secure your tickets.

It’s worth noting the content warnings posted regarding the play: there will be blood. And puke. And terror.
