Set in London in 1658. England's most famous philosopher is poised to do battle with a faction of young scientists, Cromwell has closed the theatres, and talk in the coffee houses is of revolution...The Tragedy of Thomas Hobbes brings a life a period of history when science was a new theatre and philosophy became a new faith. It is a provocative and experimental journey back to a time of dead dogs, new gods, and witnessing miracles. The Tragedy of Thomas Hobbes is cast from the ensemble of actors performing The Taming of the Shrew and The Merchant of Venice and includes Stephen Boxer, Angus Wright and Amanda Hadingue.
