The Words of War: A Churchill and Shakespeare Cabaret – Time: 7:30pm-9pm, Location: Studio Theatre, Cost: $39.00-$69.00
Featuring Geraint Wyn Davies and Friends

Join us for a captivating evening dedicated to exploring the life of Winston Churchill. Through conversation about the 2025 themes of war, love and harmony, which happened to define Churchill’s legacy, we will peel back the layers of the historical figure’s complex character. Curated and directed by Richard Ouzounian, this event promises an engaging blend of storytelling, music and insightful commentary, featuring a talented cast led by Geraint Wyn Davies (Autolycus in the 2025 season production of The Winter’s Tale) and friends.
Though Churchill was no saint, his journey as a leader was marked by triumphs and tribulations that share their DNA with Shakespearean drama. Peer into Churchill’s world through his own eyes, by way of speeches, diaries and letters, interwoven with the timeless verses of Shakespeare. The evening’s words will find joyful companionship in music hall songs and Gilbert & Sullivan—a true reflection of Churchill’s own love for the arts.

Enjoy reflection and laughter while gaining a deeper understanding of an iconic individual and the parallels between his pursuit of meaning and inspiration and that of Shakespeare’s. A truly unique exploration of history, literature and the human spirit!
