The shows, captured in front of a live audience, will be shown in cinemas across the UK.
The Audience, which is directed by Stephen Daldry and written by Peter Morgan, centres on weekly meetings between Queen Elizabeth II and each of her prime ministers. The production was the inspiration for Netflix hit The Crown, also penned by Morgan.
The Playboy of the Western World tells the tale of Pegeen Flaherty, whose life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub claiming he has killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer, Christy Mahon, becomes a local hero. That is, until a second man arrives on the scene…
The cinematic production will be captured from its run in the Lyttelton theatre, where it will play until 28th February.
The play follows Marquise de Merteuil, who is a master in the art of survival and joins forces with the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont in order to turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. That is, until their alliance collapses into rivalry, and the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.
The production will be captured from its run in the Lyttelton Theatre, where it will be playing from 21st March to 6th June.
