Synopsis: | Based around true characters. It is 1815. 9 year old Jean-pierre and 12 year old Hector arrive with their mother, Elizabeth to say goodbye to their rarely seen soldiering father, Jean baptiste. As a Belgian soldier seconded by the French, he had fought with Napoleon's army through Spain via Boulogne to Moscow. With Napoleon on Elba, the Belgian army were absorbed by the British and their Prussian allies. It is the eve of Waterloo. In an extraordinary but true situation, Jean baptiste is about to face his former friends and allies, now his enemies, on the field of battle. Wellington has given permission for such soldiers to be placed in reserve, away from the scene of battle. Can his family persuade him to take that option? Do they want him to? Elizabeth and Jean pierre say 'don't'; Hector 'yes'. The 12 year old wants to fight alongside his father. This play delves into the male need to fight. A theme with great resonances today (2010). | |||||
