About

Winston Churchill has just been awarded honorary US citizenship by President John F. Kennedy. In recognition of this unprecedented occasion, The American-Oxford Society has asked the former Prime Minister to address them and discuss what this honor means to him.

In this often funny, sometimes touching and always engaging one-man-show... veteran British actor, David Payne brings Churchill to life onstage. Audiences will be delighted to hear of his exploits during the Boer War, his constant battles with Britain's fellow politicians, and his special relationship with America and America's presidents. But most telling of all, Churchill enlightens the audience with intimate and touching details of the two special women in his life--his wife Clementine and Queen Elizabeth.

With elements of The Crown and The Darkest Hour, David Payne once again gives audiences an opportunity to spend an evening with one of the greatest historical figures in the world--Sir Winston Churchill.

    An Enjoyable Evening with Winston Churchill

    by A. M. on 4/1/23Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts (fka Duke Energy) - Raleigh

    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!

    An evening with Winston

    by Vic on 3/27/23Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts (fka Duke Energy) - Raleigh

    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.

    by Jules on 3/27/23Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts (fka Duke Energy) - Raleigh

    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.

    Love it. Wanted more!

    by Louise & Joseph on 3/27/23Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts (fka Duke Energy) - Raleigh

    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!

    Great experience

    by Ann on 3/27/23Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts (fka Duke Energy) - Raleigh

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

    Churchill

    by Jufo on 3/27/23Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts (fka Duke Energy) - Raleigh

    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.
