It is April 1955. Sir Winston Churchill, aged 80, Prime Minister of Great Britain, ‘the Man who Won the War’, is tired, old, and losing his grip. He must decide ‘to go or not to go’. Churchill reminisces about his extraordinary life. He tells witty jokes and stories – ‘De Gaulle looks like a female llama who has been disturbed in her bath’. He relives iconic speeches: ‘We shall fight on the beaches…’ Churchill makes tragic, private revelations about his family, always searching for the key that will free him from the long burden of office.

“A marvelous show. From start to finish, our audience was hanging on every word. Every line, delivered perfectly by Mr. Edlin, was an insight into history and into the remarkable man who was Winston Churchill. There was laughter, tears, and moments of thoughtful silence as the esteemed British statesman graced our stage” – Warren Cultural Center
