Hampton doesn't wring his hands over whether or not Blake had an audience, whether or not he was politically engaged, or whether Blake was too obscure for any potential reading public.
Hampton has no patience for the apostles of decay and pessimism, nor even with figures on the left who gave into defeat and despair such as Orwell and Koestler.
Rather, Hampton is interested in Blake's relevance for our time in terms of how he faced the horrors of his own.

 Ben Francis, author of 'Christopher Hampton: Dramatic Ironist' published by Amber Lane Press
Christopher Hampton: Dramatic Ironist by Ben Francis traces the career of this versatile dramatist, who became a professional writer while he was still a student in the 1960s.
Dubbed by the critic Michael Billington as “a classicist in an age of romantics” Hampton established his credentials in the theatre with highly polished, witty plays, such as Total Eclipse, his play about the symbolist poets Rimbaud and Verlaine, The Philanthropist, an ironic updating of Molière’s Le Misanthrope, and Tales from Hollywood.
Christopher Hampton: Dramatic Ironist is a comprehensive study of his stage plays, television plays, films and translations, and is the fullest account yet presented of his achievements up to his debut as a film director with Carrington for which he also wrote the screenplay.

It's an odd play -- with the characters apparently leading such insular lives that the assassination of the most of the members of government hardly touches them at all -- but good entertainment all around.
