A fierce young general… A mysterious lady… a furiously funny battle of wits… over a love letter. Who was Napoleon before he became an Emperor? Find out in this hilarious, intimate comedy by George Bernard Shaw.
The Archive Theater along with Pioneer Farms present a new interactive theatrical experience set in the Napoleonic era. Travel back in time to a late 18th century tavern, where a young Napoleon Boneparte has paused for an evening’s rest after his first triumphant win at the battle of Lodi. Listen to 18th century music from live musicians, eat French and Italian delicacies, and play period tavern games as you watch the machinations of The Mysterious Lady and the bumbling of the entitled Lieutenant.
Join us for an evening of raucous, witty fun and watch the ultimate battle of the sexes. Will Napoleon be defeated before he even embarks on his career of conquest? Framed with a new translation of the sultry letters of Napoleon to Josephine, and served up with a liberal side of romance, this is the perfect Valentine’s gift for someone special.
