In the play written by Edlin, Churchill wryly and wittily reviews his life from birth, looking for evidence of what to do as he faces at age 80 a personal and political crossroads. He segues from wise observation, to funny story, to iconic speech, to pithy analysis of colleague and enemy alike. 

Churchill’s life showed that a leader could be flawed, be wonderfully human, and still conquer his demons to achieve a level of legendary, indispensable greatness that few in the history of the world ever have. Don’t miss this opportunity!

Edlin is best known for his portrayal of Sir Winston Churchill in the play “Churchill.” The most frequent and compelling response from audiences to this one man play is “I was inspired”.

Andrew also offers educational outreach addresses such as ‘Churchill and Leadership’, keynote speeches, and after-dinner and corporate programs.

In 2012 he produced and co-directed his abridgment of Shakespeare’s King Lear in which he played the title role. Andrew Edlin has performed in more than 30 stage productions
