Jack Sheppard
A master of drinking, whoring, theft � and escape! While Jack Sheppard seems marked from birth for a terrible end, his wit and charm might just be able to cheat fate. Fate, however, seems eager to cheat him out of an honest living, when Jack begins visiting the notorious Black Lion, drinking den of the worst criminals in London. Soon he is one of the most famous scoundrels in the city � not for his crimes, but for the wonderful fact that not one of the King�s fine prisons can hold him. But Jack�s luck will have to run out eventually�
Through a Cloud
"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.
