Description
Set entirely in Churchill's private bunker, this one-man show stars Edmund L. Shaff, who has a remarkable resemblance to the British leader. The play takes place on April 4, 1955, the night Churchill decided to resign as Prime Minister. In reaching this historic decision, he reflects on his political journey and his strained relationship with his father. Portrait also shares Churchill's fears that his successor might lack the strength to stand up to the Soviets, his admiration and respect for FCR, General Patton, Harry S. Truman, his abiding love for his parents, and his shocking, unexpected electoral defeat in 1945.
