The Man of Destiny

It is a dazzling May morning in 1796. Napoleon is not yet L’Empereur; he is still Le Petit Corporal-but he’s on his way. On this particular morning, he meets a strange lady who might prove to be more than a match for his brilliant strategic mind, as she systematically turns his organized world upside-down. A rarely-performed comedy from the master of English wit and a mainstay of Aurora Theatre Company, the combination of George Bernard Shaw and director Barbara Oliver has worked its magic several times in the past.
