The year is 1647; the place, England.  It looked, for a moment, as if the common people held their future in their own hands.  The king had been defeated and the new Puritan powers of Oliver Cromwell were still unsure of their control.  Spurred on by an excited population, the Levellers and Ranters pressed for fuller freedoms.  But the new Puritan autocracy withstood the people and finally destroyed them.  Churchill’s exceptionally well-written play asks, what happens to a society when all the rules have been thrown out and everything has to be made anew.
