Great Plays
Oliver Cromwell
by
Great Plays presents a radio dramatization of Oliver Cromwell, bringing the story of the English statesman and military leader to listeners through performance rather than narration. The title points to a historical subject whose life was shaped by the upheavals of seventeenth-century England.
As a dramatic radio presentation, the program uses spoken performance to convey its material. The focus is on Cromwell and the events associated with his place in English history, offering a theatrical treatment of a major historical figure.
The result is a period drama for listeners interested in historical subjects and classic radio performance. Its appeal lies in hearing a consequential chapter of the past presented as a play, with the imagination filling in the scenes beyond the voices.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
