Britain's Queen Elizabeth II wants to see a play about herself.
The 88-year-old monarch has confessed she's been looking forward to watching 'The Audience' when it arrives at the West End's Gielgud Theatre following its run on Broadway in Spring.
The production - which is written by Peter Morgan and stars 'Four Weddings And A Funeral' actress Kristin Scott Thomas - imagines what the Queen may have discussed with various Prime Ministers throughout her 63-year reign.
Peter - who first showed 'The Audience' on the West End in 2013 with Helen Mirren as its star - told the Daily Express newspaper: "The Queen has asked to see the play herself.
"She apparently said she was sorry to have missed it on its last run and I think that's partly because it just took that long for enough people to have seen it in her circle to tell her it's worth seeing.
"I know her private secretary came and various former high-ranking courtiers and present courtiers."
'The Audience' will open at the Gielgud Theatre on April 21.

Mike Tindall is starring alongside Bear Grylls in a new reality show.
The former England rugby captain - who is married to Zara Phillips, the eldest granddaughter of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II - will appear on the new ITV series alongside singers Max George and Jamelia, actress Emilia Fox and her actor cousin Laurence Fox, Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes, 'Plebs' funnyman Tom Rosenthal and model Vogue Williams as Grylls, 40, tests their ability to survive in the Central American rainforest.
The adventurer taught each of the celebrity contestants to search for shelter, water, fire and food as well as how to abseil down ferocious waterfalls, cross perilous rapids, trudge through swamps and negotiate razor sharp vines while contending with scorpions, snakes and sand flies for the show.
Each week will see one of the contestants sent home as they fail to complete the tasks set by the 'Born: Survivor: Bear Grylls' star to his satisfaction.
Mike, 36, admitted he feels "lucky" to have taken part in the show but confessed he missed his wife, 33 and the couple's one-year-old daughter Mia, during the gruelling filming schedule in the rainforest.
He said: "It was an amazing opportunity and I feel so lucky to have had the chance to take part."
Grylls added he was "so proud" of the team for taking part in the "tough" show and believes it has been a "life-enhancing" experience for everyone involved.
He said: "I would set them daily survival missions and would then regularly back away, leaving them to their own devices, so that they would learn by doing it and making mistakes. That's the source of all genuine growth in a survivor.
"This show is all about empowerment and I am so proud of how the celebrity team who joined me on Mission Survive performed. It was without doubt a tough expedition, but also a very life-enhancing adventure for everyone involved."

Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are hiring a second nanny.
The royal couple - who already employ Antonella Fresolone, 42, to care for their 18-month-old son Prince George full time - are reportedly looking for a live-in maternity nurse to help raise their second baby in the weeks after the birth.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 33 - who is due in April - is said to have been left "exhausted' following George's birth in 2013 and has enquired at London-based Norland Agency and Royal Nannies about the possibility of employing more help, reports the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
A source said of Prince William and his wife, née Kate Middleton: "Kate and William loved the early weeks with Prince George but it was hard work and the sleepless nights took their toll.
"Kate especially was exhausted."
The brunette beauty - who suffered from acute morning sickness at the start of her pregnancy - has also been well looked after by Antonella, who has become an "invaluable" part of the family.
A royal insider said: "Antonella has already been proving invaluable to the Duke and Duchess.
"She is very capable and a great cook. It's like having their very own domestic goddess.
"She made sure the Duchess was well fed during her pregnancy, cooking up steaming bowls of pasta and delicious risotto dishes.
"They couldn't do without her."

Britain's Prince Andrew made his first UK public appearance since being embroiled in a sex scandal yesterday (29.01.15).
The 54-year-old royal - who has been accused of having sex with Virgina Roberts three times when she was just 17 - attended a naval parade at RNAS Yeovilton in Somerset and says the ceremony, which saw four helicopter pilots given their wings, brought back memories of his own stint in the Navy over 20 years ago.
Andrew - who flew Lynxes and Sea Kings when he served as a Royal Navy pilot - said: "Just being here today at one of these very, very important ceremonies in the life of the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm brought back memories to me when I was stood where these young people were a long time ago.
"I don't think people really realise the amount of hard work and the amount of time those who have received their wings today have actually put in."
Lt Danielle Welch, 30, became the first woman to become a Royal Navy "ab-initio" Lynx helicopter pilot - meaning she did all her training on the same aircraft - and will be the last as the fleet will be replaced in 2017 and is very proud of her achievement.
She said: "My family and friends are all very proud.
"This is something I have been trying to achieve for most of my life and when I found out I had been selected it was brilliant.
"The course is tough. We started the Lynx course with six and we've ended with four. Previous courses have a similar attrition rate.
"Not everyone gets through but to achieve it is brilliant."

A second attempt to have Britain's Prince Andrew testify under oath has failed.
Lawyers acting for Virginia Roberts - who claims she had sex with the prince three times when she was 17 - tried to serve legal papers on the 54-year-old royal via the British Embassy in Washington but they were returned to sender as the Foreign Office said sending them that was was not the "appropriate way" for them to be served.
They added in a statement: "Documents were incorrectly sent to our embassy in Washington.
"As they were not served via the appropriate channels, we are returning the documents so they can be sent by the agreed international channels for the transmission of legal papers."
Virginia's lawyer, Jack Scarola, confirmed the failure, which came after an initial letter sent to Buckingham Palace was not accepted but sent back by couriers FedEx.
Andrew's accuser claims she was paid £10,000 by the royal's former friend Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with the prince, once in London, again at the financier's home in New York and as part of an "orgy" in the Caribbean.
The prince and Buckingham Palace have vehemently denied the allegations.

Britain's Prince Charles will undertake a tour of the Middle East next month.
The 66-year-old prince - who was in Saudi Arabia last week for the funeral of King Abdullah - will return to the country, and also visit the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Jordan, Kuwait and Qatar on a solo visit to the region early in February on the request of the government.
The visit comes around a year after Charles and his wife Duchess Camilla last visited the region and less than three months since his son Prince Harry was in the Middle East, but royal officials say the return trip highlights the "importance" the government places on their ties there.
A Clarence House statement read: "The Prince of Wales's return to the region, only one year after his last tour, demonstrates the importance Her Majesty's Government places on its association with key partners in the area.
"These connections are underpinned by the long-standing and respectful relationships which exist between the Royal Family and the ruling families in the Gulf."
The itinerary is almost identical to the one Charles undertook last year, but he will visit Kuwait and the UAE in place of Oman.

James Middleton admits being Britain's Duchess Catherine's brother is "frustrating".
The 27-year-old entrepreneur - who runs a personalised marshmallow business, Boomf - finds it difficult having his hard work overshadowed by the fact his sister married into the royal family.
He said: "Yes, it does get frustrating. I work incredibly hard--just like every other person in business and work.
"And aside from the fact of -- yes, I am the brother of someone very important--I am, at the end of the day, just James."
If a biopic were to made which featured James, he would like to see 'Wolf of Wall Street' star Leonardo DiCaprio to portray him.
Asked by digital magazine The Young Director who he would want to play him in a movie, he instantly replied: "Leonardo DiCaprio! I would want Leonardo to play me because I believe in his acting mastery. The guy is a genius and he would make me look fantastic."
James dropped out of the University of Edinburgh to launch his own business, but admits his struggle with dyslexia was also a contributing factor.
He said: "I usually joke that it's like a Superpower--you only have it if you've got it. For one, it makes you unique, and two, your brain just works differently; you will get to the answer of a solution but just in a different -- maybe unconventional way."

Australia's Prime Minister has defended his decision to bestow a knighthood on Britain's Prince Philip.
Tony Abbott was greeted with criticism and ridicule on Monday (26.01.15) when he announced the 93-year-old royal would be appointed to the ranks of the Order of Australia, but he insists he is taking the controversy "on the chin".
He said: "I stand by the decision.
"I understand why some people do not like it. I respect their right to be critical. I take it on the chin."
However, the politician suggested he had learned from the backlash and will undertake "considerably more consultation" before awarding any more honours.
He added: "I do want to assure people I have heard and there will be considerably more consultation around these awards in the future.
"Obviously there are some lessons in these things and the lesson that I learn is there does need to be wider consultation about these sorts of awards in the future."
The prime minister said he had consulted only with the chairman of council of the Order of Australia and the governor-general, Queen Elizabeth's representative in the country.
He added: "I did what I thought was appropriate."
Treasurer Joe Hockey, Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann have previously made it clear they had nothing to do with the decision.
Mr. Abbott said: "This is my call and I'm happy to take these things on the chin. I accept that this has been a distraction for the government over the last couple of days."

Carole Middleton hasn't invited her brother to her lavish birthday party.
The party planner - who is the mother of Britain's Duchess of Cambridge - will celebrate turning 60 at the weekend with 30 friends and family, including her tennis coach and yoga teacher, joining her on holiday in Mustique but her only sibling, Gary Goldsmith, isn't on the trip to the Caribbean.
However, insiders insist Gary - who has previously admitted to using drugs - is "supremely chilled" about the situation.
A source said: "We don't know why Gary has not been invited, particularly as he is her only sibling. You can only speculate really.
"There's not going to be any kind of party back at home either as we understand, so this really is the official birthday bash. It seems a shame that her closest relative won't be there."
Though pregnant Duchess Catherine's husband Prince William has made the trip, along with their son Prince George, 18 months, it is understood her siblings Pippa and James have not invited their partners, Nico Jackson and Donna Air, because of royal "protocol".
One source explained to the Daily Mail newspaper: "It's just a question of protocol really. It's a bit of a family lockdown as it always is when William and Kate are involved."
