Helen Mirren won an Oscar as Elizabeth II in “The Queen.”
So why not wear the crown again?
Mirren’s doing readings in London this week of a new play called “The Audience,” which chronicles Elizabeth II’s reign from 1952 to this month’s Diamond Jubilee.
“The Audience” is by Peter Morgan, who wrote “The Queen” as well as the hit Broadway play “Frost/Nixon.”
Morgan’s top choice for director, I hear, is Stephen Daldry, who staged “Billy Elliot.”
If Mirren commits to “The Audience,” the plan is to produce it in London this fall and then move it to Broadway, possibly by spring 2013.
