Drei junge Männer in den Wirren der Französischen Revolution. Da ist Georges Danton: ehrgeizig, energisch, hoch verschuldet. Maximilien Robespierre: gewissenhaft und furchtsam. Und schließlich Camille Desmoulins: ein Rhetorikgenie, aber auch wankelmütig und unzuverlässig. Während die drei in den berauschenden Sog der Macht geraten, erkennen sie, dass ihre Ideale auch eine dunkle Seite haben. Das monumentale elfstündige WDR-Hörspiel - bis in die kleinste Rolle erstklassig und prominent besetzt - erzählt packend und hochemotional von einem der erschütterndsten Ereignisse der Weltgeschichte.

But the bloody theatre of Cromwell’s ascension will leave no one unscathed. 

England, May 1536. Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Thomas Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith’s son from Putney emerges from the spring’s bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.
