Napoleon's Secret Diary

And it's a great start to the Fringe Festival with the very funny Napoleon's Secret Diary. This one man play is a comedic biography of the little general as told in his own words to the audience—his secret diary.
Young Napoleon Glen Bonaparte is an insecure, nebbishy, height challenged, schoolboy whose only ambition in life is to live a quiet life in isolation on the island of Corsica. His mother gives him a diary as a gift and in it he writes his deepest secrets, and true feelings. To the world he is the little general, but to the audience he is the little mouse.
But the forces of destiny will not leave him alone, and they urge him onto greatness. The reluctant soldier becomes the reluctant general, and finally the reluctant emperor. The quick paced play sends up the major events and turning points of Napoleon's life. As informative as an A&E Biography and ten times as funny.
