Adolf and Winston

Event information

Two Actors. Two World Leaders. One Black Dog.

London, 1939. Winston Churchill looks in the mirror, realises that only he can steer our great nation through its darkest hour and steels himself for the hard road ahead.

Bristol, 2012. Howard Coggins looks in the mirror, shaves, realises he looks a bit like Winston Churchill and steels himself to break some bad news to his good friend, Stu.

Bristol, 2013. Stu Mcloughlin looks in the mirror and realises that he’ll have to grow a little moustache.

Buoyed by the success of “The Six Wives of Henry VIII” and unafraid to tackle the big subjects in an essentially inconsequential way, Howard & Stu are back walking the tightrope of taste and decency with another slice of poorly-researched history. But will either of them escape from this war alive...?

Lyme Regis audiences may know Stu, Shanty Theatre Company’s resident composer, from his appearance in “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” last summer, and those of you who didn’t make it to the “The Six Wives of Henry VIII” at the Marine last year may well have heard the laughter from your homes.
