‚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 these two leaders find common ground? As diplomats struggle to control the escalating chaos, two interpreters find themselves caught in the eye of the storm.
Howard Brenton’s gripping play Churchill in Moscow dramatises the historic meeting of two unpredictable titans as history teeters on a knife-edge. It opened in 2025 at London’s Orange Tree Theatre, directed by the venue’s Artistic Director Tom Littler, starring Roger Allam as Churchill and Peter Forbes as Stalin.
