The Man of Destiny

by George Bernard Shaw
directed by Barbara Oliver
January 30, 2004 - March 7, 2004

It is a dazzling May morning in1796. 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 Shaw and Oliver has worked its magic several times in the past, and we’re expecting to have a wonderful time with this one.
