Napoleon: A Defence

★★★★★
“An hours worth of madness, beautifully crafted sleight of hand and outrageous play. A joy from start to finish.”

~ What’s On Stage

Napoleon is being chased across Europe by the elite British task force of Major Blunt, Duke Welly and Sweet William. But their top-secret plan has been accidentally intercepted by a group of French misfits hell-bent on saving their Emperor.

With appearances from Napoleon’s beautiful wife Josephine, some very wooden horses and an Austrian nun, prepare yourselves for a somewhat different insight into the Napoleonic Wars.

Join Private Party on board HMS Boat as he prepares to set sail to the Mediterranean island of Elba. What would normally be a tranquil journey across the high seas takes an interesting turn when a surprise guest arrives just as the passengers take their seats…
