Synopsis

England, 1656. After the execution of the king, the country veers dangerously toward anarchy.

Against this background, John Milton and Oliver Cromwell meet for a heated debate about how a country can regain its equilibrium after a bloody insurrection and if good government can be enforced from above on a divided nation.

Though firmly set in its period, Through a Cloud reaches forward to the present day.
