This is a gripping one-man play about famous British statesman, author, orator, journalist and soldier Sir Winston Churchill.   It is April 1955. Churchill, aged 80, after entertaining the Queen and Prince Philip for dinner at No. 10 Downing Street, agonizes in his wartime bunker below London whether to finally resign as Prime Minister as the Cold War gathers pace. He is old, tired and losing his grip. As he tries to decide, he rolls back the years and reviews his uniquely eventful career, filled with history-changing events and famous people, glorious speeches, pithy comments, funny stories, his checkered relationship with his family, and all the wit and wisdom that has made Churchill beyond merely one of history's greatest figures into an imperishable legend. Written and performed by Andrew Edlin.

"Andrew Edlin is spellbinding as Winston Churchill...fascinating, hilarious and dramatic...a truly remarkable play!"
