The Man of Destiny

by George Bernard Shaw

Fresh off his victory at The Battle of Lodi, Napoleon is planning to enjoy his lunch when a lieutenant arrives with the bad news that the dispatches he had been carrying were stolen.

Unconvinced of her story, Napoleon and the woman enter into a battle of wits in true Shaw style. Will the conqueror of worlds end up conquered by a woman?

Not only a battle of wits, but also a true show of valour

Extremely witty especially the innkeeper Giuseppe. I laughed out loud when he says of the lieutenant to Napoleon, ‘Make him a General and everything he says will be right!’. He’s witty like William Shakespeare’s Fool in King Lear— Give me an egg and I will give you true crowns!
I loved listening to the play.
