Synopsis: | It is 1815 and Napoleon is in his final exile on St. Helena. As he caroms between the colliding realities of his new jailers and old retainers, he enters a strange new world where nothing is quite what it seems. Torn between power and its loss, history and memory, the ghost of Joan of Arc falling through the ceiling, and an omnipresent chorus of sardonic rats, he becomes the pivot point for a vividly theatrical and darkly comic meditation on the nature and perils of greatness. | |||||
