Napoleon Disrobed
Arcola Theatre, London/Touring
UNCONDITIONAL love, an oasis of calm in a raging and chaotic sea of twisted identity and thwarted revolution, sits at the heart of Napoleon Disrobed.
Directed by the award-winning Kathryn Hunter, this sublimely ridiculous piece takes us on a journey of found love and lost cause.
A joint production with Theatre Royal Plymouth, Arcola Theatre and Told by an Idiot, it co-stars the latter’s co-founder and artistic director Paul Hunter and anarchic theatre is safe in his hands.
