‘Churchill; The Play’ looks at legendary leader’s famed ‘Iron Curtain’ warning

Ronald Keaton’s adaption and performance of “Churchill; The Play” will be presented May 10 at 7 p.m. at the Savannah Center.

The setting is March 1946. Winston Churchill has led Britain and the Allies to victory in the European Theatre of World War II. He has also shockingly been defeated for re-election as Prime Minister.

Sitting in forced retirement with his wife Clementine at their Chartwell home, Churchill receives an invitation from President Harry Truman to speak in America at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri.

That’s where he delivers his legendary “Iron Curtain” speech. Churchill arrives in Fulton to an informal gathering of friends and supporters, and shares his life in flashback and in storytelling.

In “Churchill,” the influential Nobel Prize laureate discusses his failures and his successes; his love of art, liquor and women; and the bravery of Britain’s finest hour.
