As the title suggests, this production is based around a top-secret meeting between Winston Churchill (Allam) and Joseph Stalin (Forbes) in 1942: 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.

"Tamara Greatrex is the latest actor to make her professional theatre debut at the Orange Tree. 

"Many of this cast have appeared in Howard's work before, and they share my excitement about this project: it is an exciting, thought-provoking and hugely entertaining insight into a resonant historical episode."
