Winston Churchill is arguably one of the most famous Englishmen that has ever lived. His inspirational leadership helped win the Second World War, and his parliamentary career of 62 years ensured he was responsible for many momentous decisions.

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. (Liz’s other current shows are ‘The Second Best Bed’ and ‘Where Is Mrs. Christie?’).

Winston himself said, “my most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.”

Reviews

“The show was incredible and Liz's performance utterly outstanding. So many favourable comments. Don't know how on earth she does it and a remarkable script.” Sue Ablett, Director Evesham Word Festival

“This single actress show makes huge demands on Liz Grand who occupies the stage for two full acts on her own: it is a huge ‘tour de force’, a tremendous amount to learn and deliver, and she holds and absorbs our attention brilliantly.” Behind the Arras"

“The natural, sensitive and sympathetic way with which Liz Grand portrays ‘the little lady at home’ is impressive.” View from the Stalls

“And when the tears start to trickle down the actor’s face, they seem to speak louder than any words. In fact, to unashamedly borrow from a phrase, yes, for Liz Grand, this was arguably her finest hour.” Showtime
