Drunk Enough To Say I Love You?

Synopsis

A non-specific space where two men engage in a fragmented, politically-charged dialogue.

Guy, an ordinary man, falls in love with Sam, a personification of the United States. Their relationship unfolds through a series of disjointed conversations that mirror the progression of American foreign policy and global influence. As Guy becomes increasingly entangled with Sam, he struggles with the moral implications of Sam’s actions and his own complicity.

Churchill’s play is a scathing critique of American imperialism and global politics. Through the metaphor of a romantic relationship, the play explores themes of power, manipulation, and moral compromise. The fragmented dialogue style reflects the chaotic nature of global events and the often contradictory justifications for political actions. As Guy and Sam’s relationship evolves, the play delves into topics such as election interference, military interventions, economic exploitation, and environmental negligence, forcing the audience to confront the human cost of geopolitical strategies.
