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.
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
The One-Person Play was incredible. I love history and however brief, I felt like I was transported back in time and to the experiences that Winston Churchill himself encountered. It was magnificent.
I thought the performance itself was excellent, I love the theater. However the set designer missed the mark. The furniture was mis-matched, not appropriate to the occasion, and I felt badly that the actor had to struggle to get in and out of the chair that was clearly too low for him.
