Wow!!!

I've always greatly admired Winston Churchill for his courage and tenacity in leading Britain through WWII, and I thought this production really did him proud! Hats off to Gleeson for a brilliant characterization of him! I always think of Hamish from the movie Braveheart when I see Gleeson's name, but I have to admit he totally became Churchill in this role. I felt bad for him towards the end when he lost the new election for PM, but when the people at the play gave him a standing ovation for being the savior of their nation, I got all teary-eyed. Don't miss this show! I thank the almighty for the fact that we had such great men as Churchill and FDR as world leaders during the terrible and turbulent years that were WWII.
