"Churchill": Solo Show Captures Famed Prime Minister

Based on Winston Churchill's own writings, Ronald Keaton's solo show "Churchill" finds the former British prime minister chafing under forced retirement after a shocking loss in the post-World War II election. When President Harry Truman invites him to speak in the U.S., the famed politician, painter, Nobel Prize-winning author and witty raconteur begins to reflect on his life and times with humor, pride and regret. The inspiring leader not only shares his political and military history, but his fondness for whiskey, cigars and women in this stirring production that comes to New York's New World Stages following sold-out runs in Chicago.
