Armstrong Arts Group: ‘Mrs. Churchill – My Life with Winston

Thornbury Methodist Church Hall

A one-woman play starring Liz Grand as Clementine Churchill and written by Kit Hunter

Winston Churchill is one of the most famous Englishmen who has ever lived. The epitome of strength, stubbornness and the British bulldog, his inspirational leadership helped win the Second World War, and his parliamentary career ensured 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 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. This was one of the great love affairs of all time, no better illustrated than by 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 both delighted audiences. Book the new show with confidence!
