PILGRIM THEATER 2005

1815.  Napoleon's final exile on the island of St. Helena. Torn between power and its loss, history and memory, haunted by the ghosts of Joan of Arc and Josephine, and plagued by an omnipresent chorus of sardonic rats, Napoleon is the pivot point for a vividly theatrical and darkly comic meditation on the nature and perils of power and the quest for immortality.

"N (Bonaparte) is written with lyrical persuasion and spoken by actors who possess their characters so fully that you become rapt in their rapture." —The Boston Phoenix

"This Napoleon really is dynamite!" —Boston's Weekly Dig
