Galvanized by victory over the Austrians, the young Napoleon believes he is invincible. At an Italian inn he meets his match, a mysterious young woman, determined to interrupt his rise to power. The resulting sparkling battle of wits, political trickery and sexual intrigue make up Shaw's 90 minute comedy. With this rarely performed romp, the Players completes productions of all four of Shaw's self-described Plays Pleasant, ARMS AND THE MAN, CANDIDA, YOU NEVER CAN TELL and THE MAN OF DESTINY.
