King Cromwell
Oliver Ford Davies


What readers are saying
Readers find that the play engages with significant philosophical themes surrounding revolution. It draws interesting parallels to contemporary political figures, prompting deeper reflection on idealism versus pragmatism.
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.
Through A Cloud is a British play written by Jack Shepherd and published by Nick Hern Books in London (2005).
