Character descriptions:
-----------------------
Napoleon's: Male, late 40's-51. (able to speak with a French accent an advantage) Napoleon Bonaparte, 18th and 19th century general and eventual emperor of France, king of Italy, Mediator of the Swiss confederation and Protector of the confederation of the Rhine. Regarded as one of greatest political and military leaders of the early modern era, his final defeat and exile came in 1815 after his defeat by the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo. The mysterious Napoleon that has appeared in modern times is a menace and a raving madman hell bent on his former glory.
He is a grotesque who represent the worst in Bonaparte's character, from his megalomania to his insatiable greed for territory and conquest. Napoleon who now wishes to conquer his new surroundings represents the delusional, paranoid and fear inducing nature of many dictators through out history.
Arthur: Male, 22. Arthur Wellington is a ordinary looking twenty two year old student living in Brisbane, Australia. It is mid- semester break in his final year of university and he is saving up enough money to go overseas in the next year.
To earn extra money during his break, Arthur has found easy work in watching houses for his friends while they are away on holidays. This is the perfect job for Arthur who has been looking for some quiet time for himself to complete his novel by the time he finishes his uni.
Arthur is unsure of where his life is taking him and what he is going to do with himself in the near future if his novel fails. His plan to Europe he hopes will bring that inspiration he needs to get life on the right path.
The peace and serenity that Arthur was looking for is now about to come to end with the mysterious arrival of Napoleon Bonaparte in the basement of the house. The softly spoken Arthur as been unfortunately mistaken by Napoleon as his English rival at the battle.
