Reviews

“The colorful life of Lady Randolph-Spencer Churchill is brought to life by Lynn Rymarz. Lynn's costume visually transforms the audience to 19th century England. Lady Churchill positioned herself in the mist of the influential and the royals. Lynn tactfully explains that neither circle lacked scandal and that Lady Churchill was no exception. Lady Churchill shrewdly worked her connections to help her son, Winston Churchill, rise to power. The audience will learn that Lady Churchill lived an eventful life, never afraid to color outside the lines.”
