A gripping historical play that dramatises a crucial moment of
English history. December 1648. The Army has occupied London.
Parliament votes not to put the imprisoned king on trial, so the
Army moves against Westminster in the first and only military coup
in English history. What follows over the next fifty-five days, as
Cromwell seeks to compromise with a king who will do no such thing,
is nothing less than the forging of a new nation, an entirely new
world. Howard Brenton's play depicts the dangerous and dramatic
days when, in a country exhausted by Civil War, a few great men
attempt to think the unthinkable: to create a country without a
king. 55 Days was first performed at Hampstead Theatre, London, in
October 2012, in a production directed by Howard Davies.
