Churchill Tickets

David Payne's one-man show based on the life of Winston Churchill was true delight to a lover of history like me. Premised on attendance at a dinner gathering shortly after confirmation of US citizenship, Payne, as Churchill, uses the opportunity to reflect on his 80 years of life and not just on his time as Prime Minister of Great Britain during World War II. Covering highs and lows, special relationships, insights and, of course, his incredible and sometimes biting wit, the show is a masterful performance. For those is need of flashing lights, video imagery and non-stop movement on the stage, then this show is not for you. For those able to focus on the spoke word and appreciate and enjoy the context in which given, then I strongly encourage you to attend. Even more amazing is that David Payne is 80 years old and going strong!

Its like sitting in a study, listening to an old friend talk about his life. But no questions allowed. The gentleman sits in his wing back chair with a drink and his cigar, reminiscing. He is humorous, and insightful. Very good experience.

Enjoyed the show greatly. Like a history lesson from someone who lived it. Entertaining and informative. Excellent show!

Performance was outstanding. Had problems with Ticketmaster’s management of my account. Event wouldn’t post so couldn’t get my electronic tickets. After multiple attempts to contact Ticketmaster, finally talked with a helpful human. Getting paper tickets at venue was smooth. Whew!!

The show went by so quickly. He’s a marvelous imitator of the wit and intelligence of the great Churchill. The stories were engaging and his humor hysterical. Glad we went. Highly recommend it.

Excellent performance and writing. I wish there were more plays and performances like this one. It was worthy of its subject.

Both my husband and I loved the play. Very convincing delivery of factual statements. We wanted another two hours. The only thing to be absolutely true to the legendary character: light the cigar!

Loved his performance and that he included Churchill’s experience in Gallipoli. Wish we could have seen him as CS Lewis.

My husband and I spent a week exploring London last year - one of the best things we did was go to the Churchill war rooms. We learned so much. This performance was just lovely . It rounded out our Churchill experience. It was a very engaging relaxing way to learn about this man’s personality and his experiences. It was a delightful performance.

David Payne was outstanding. It was a brilliant 1.5 hour into the personality and highlights of Churchill’s life and people that he loved. We loved the show and Mr. Payne
