Written, directed by, and starring Payne, who delivers a masterful, larger-than-life performance, and running at the Phoenix Theatre Company through April 13, Churchill offers audiences a chance to step into the world of the iconic British statesman in a play filled with historical facts, humor, wisdom, and remarkable storytelling....an inspiring and deeply moving theatrical experience with Payne's impeccable delivery and captivating performance making for an unforgettable experience. Whether you are a history buff or simply appreciate masterful acting and storytelling, it's a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of one of the most influential figures of the 20th century."- Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
"Winston Churchill was an extremely complex individual with military brilliance and the uncanny ability to read divergent people so he could implement his assorted plans that enabled him to win a complicated war for Great Britain. The man is a challenging subject for a play and The Phoenix Theatre Company brings us David Payne’s portrait that he conceived, wrote, and directed. But there’s something missing because the creation is too often flat and it never allows the well-known exuberant figure to emerge." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
"David Payne’s CHURCHILL is a masterclass in solo performance. The prolific playwright, director, and actor brings Winston Churchill to life with remarkable depth, nuance, and authenticity. In The Phoenix Theatre Company's production, Payne doesn’t merely portray the British Bulldog; he embodies him, offering a portrayal that is both commanding and deeply human." - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
