The Tragedy of Thomas Hobbes charts the revolution in philosophical thinking that took place during the seventeenth century. the play celebrates the growth of public scientific demonstrations at a time when, under Cromwell (and less than thirty years after Shakespeare's death) the theatres were closed. Against this backdrop of civil war and social upheaval, science became the new theatre and philosophy a new faith
