註釋

"1656. A newly peaceful England is still coming to terms with its freedom from the monarchy after the bitter ravages of revolution, regicide and civil war." "A picnic in the woods at Hampton Court is the very unparliamentary setting for a meeting between two key revolutionaries: the blind poet, John Milton, and his long-term comrade, Oliver Cromwell. An unwelcome interruption leads to a heated debate which calls into question both the jaded aspirations of those in power and the utopian ideologies of those who sit on the sidelines." "Though firmly set in its period, Through a Cloud reaches forward prophetically to the present day. After a bloody insurrection, how can a country regain its equilibrium? And can good government be enforced from above on a divided nation?" "Through a Cloud was premiered in a co-production by the Drum Theatre Plymouth and Birmingham Rep."--BOOK JACKET.
