On 2 March 2027, The Levinsky Theatre in Plymouth hosts a talk series titled Oliver Cromwell: Commander in Chief featuring Professor Ronald Hutton from the University of Bristol.

Tickets are priced between £0 and £6.00, with performances by various speakers scheduled for the evening.
Professor Ronald Hutton, University of Bristol
In 1647, the Parliamentarians were divided. They had won the first civil war and the king was in custody, but disagreements over the way forward had led to a stalemate. As the leader of one party, Oliver Cromwell found himself again at the centre of events. The talk traces Cromwell’s career through to his seizure of supreme power. These decisive years saw the execution of Charles I and the establishment of the Commonwealth of England, as well as notorious and savage campaigns in Ireland and Scotland. Cromwell’s political and military leadership were well honed after years of practice, but this was also the period of his greatest ruthlessness and brutality. A different kind of Cromwell is revealed, showing how he navigated the many forces ranged against him—and rose to the pinnacle of his power.
