Everything is possible in Moscow at night.
The Kremlin, Moscow, 1942. A top-secret meeting between Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin: one, a wealthy aristocrat from a blue-blooded line of English nobility, the other a Georgian peasant, hell-bent on destroying capitalism and the class system. Can Churchill and Stalin find common ground? As diplomats struggle to control the escalating chaos, two interpreters find themselves caught in the eye of the storm.
The world premiere of Howard Brenton’s gripping drama imagines the meeting of two unpredictable titans as history teeters on a knife -edge.
Roger Allam plays Winston Churchill. Allam is a three-time Olivier Award winning actor whose prodigious career includes Endeavour, The Thick of It and Tamara Drewe.
Howard Brenton’s plays have been seen at the National Theatre, RSC, Shakespeare’s Globe, Hampstead Theatre and the Royal Court. Directed by the OT’s Artistic Director, Tom Littler, Churchill in Moscow is Brenton and Littler’s sixth collaboration.
