'Churchill' is a one-man play about Sir Winston Churchill. The play is written and performed by Andrew Edlin. Andrew is a native of Brighton, England, now living in Fairfield, Iowa.

The play is in two acts; the first an hour, the second half-an-hour. It is April 1955. Churchill agonizes in his wartime bunker below London whether to resign as Prime Minister. As he tries to decide he reviews his uniquely eventful career, filled with history-changing events and people, glorious speeches, pithy comments, funny stories, and all the wit and wisdom that has made Churchill beyond greatness into an imperishable legend.

"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile,  hoping it will eat him last."
"Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few."
"You can always trust America to do the right thing - after they have exhausted all other possibilities."
"A sheep - in sheep's clothing. A modest man, who had a great deal to be modest about."
"I have often had to eat my own words, and have found them a wholesome diet."
"If we fail, then the whole world will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age, made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science."
"If Hitler had invaded Hell, I would have at least made a favourable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons."
