Through a Cloud: NHB Modern Plays

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.
