16E MRS CHURCHILL My Life with Winston

“My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me” Winston Churchill

LIMITED AVAILABILITY

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 at 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 in one of the great love affairs of all time…

Liz Grand returns to the Festival following her recent appearances in Where Is Mrs. Christie? and The Second Best Bed.

“a master-class in nuanced delivery and dramatic timing, deliberately tantalising, directed unfussily and designed for spot-on period fidelity” The Stage

This event is also running at 5pm.
