The work, written by John Savournin and David Eaton, is a parody of the famed French leader and his battle with Wellington. The cast includes Elliot Broadfoot, Matthew Kellett, Jennie Jacobs, Amy J. Payne, Rosie Strobel, and Rochelle Jack.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome the diabolically inventive minds of Charles Court Opera back to the theatre,” said Theatre Stella Powell-Jones, Artistic Director of Jermyn Street Theatre, per an official press release.And while I’m definitely not ready to think about Christmas, I’m more than ready to think about this brilliant cast taking on one of history’s greatest stories – with that CCO signature twist!”

“It is such a pleasure to be collaborating with Jermyn Street Theatre again.  This year will mark CCO’s 17th pantomime to date, and I’m extremely excited to be presenting this year’s title, which promises to be our most ludicrous yet, performed by this truly fantastic cast of beloved CCO regulars and new faces,” added Savournin, who is also Charles Court Opera’s Artistic Director.
