The Audience meet Anthony Powell, a 28-year-old office worker from Liverpool. He needs help to make the biggest decision of his life: whether to quit his job and go travelling. At first, his dilemma appears simple, but as the group of 50 strangers get to know Anthony they unearth a deeper story from his past about his upbringing and the grief he endured when he was younger. The Audience force Anthony to confront the heart of the issue - the loss of his parents - and talk openly about it for the first time in his life. And for The Audience, it brings out hidden emotions and forces some of them to reflect deeply on their own lives.
