Churchill in Moscow

A hot ticket for the Orange Tree as veteran playwright Howard Brenton tells the very juicy tale of Winston Churchill’s visit to Moscow in 1942, wherein the British PM took a circuitous route to the Russian capital to meet the Joseph Stalin face to face in order to thrash out detail of their alliance, and the two men got royally pissed. Roger Allam stars as Churchill, with Peter Forbes as Stalin. Orage Tree boss Tom Littler directs.
