Napoleon Bonaparte spends the last years of his life in exile on an island playing solitaire, arguing with insects, and refusing to get on his teeter-totter in this comedy by Buntport Theater.
Set on the island of St. Helena, it imagines some of Napoleon’s last days. Exiled to this remote land, the former emperor spends his days arguing with insects and 12-year-old girls, making unreasonable demands of his personal chef, and refusing to put his teeter totter to good use. While inspired by a famous historical figure, the play examines the fragility of Men Losing Power, a topic that remains very current.
