Résumé

"Cromwell" by Alfred Bate Richards is a historical drama that delves into the life and times of Oliver Cromwell, one of the most influential figures in English history. Set against the backdrop of the English Civil War and the tumultuous political landscape of 17th-century England, the play offers a compelling portrayal of Cromwell's rise to power and his transformation from a humble farmer to a formidable military leader and statesman. Richards' drama explores Cromwell's complex character, depicting him as a man driven by both ambition and a sense of duty to his country and his faith. The play chronicles Cromwell's role in the overthrow of King Charles I, his leadership of the New Model Army, and his eventual ascent to Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Through vivid dialogue and dramatic scenes, "Cromwell" captures the key events and personalities of the English Civil War era, including Cromwell's relationships with political allies and adversaries, his struggles with his own conscience, and his vision for a more just and equitable society.
