Mrs. Churchill – My Life with Winston (Coach House Theatre)
10th November 2022 - 11th November 2022
Starring Liz Grand as Clementine Churchill
Written by Kit Hunter
Sir Winston Churchill was recently voted No.1 in the top 100 Britons of all time by a nationwide poll of over a million voters. The epitome of strength, stubbornness and the British bulldog, his inspirational leadership helped win the Second World War, and his parliamentary career ensure that he was responsible for many of the momentous decisions which helped shape this ‘sceptred isle’. He was an MP for 62 years.
They say that behind every great man, there is a great woman. Was this true in Churchill’s case? What of Clementine, his wife for 56 years? Did he bully her like he did so many other people? Was he as grumpy and irascible
home as he often was in the House of Commons? Given his strength and conviction, did Clem have any influence on him at all? Or was she ‘the little lady at home’?
All these questions will be answered, and many more, in Liz Grand’s superb, moving, sensitive and informative portrayal of Clementine Churchill. This was one of the great love affairs of all time, no better illustrated than Winston saying, “my most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.”
Liz Grand has toured previous one-woman shows ‘The Second Best Bed’ and ‘Where Is Mrs Christie?’ which have delighted audiences.
