Comments and Reviews
"Ian McKellen is quite brilliant in the title role (O'Flaherty): a sustained piece of bravura acting." — Frank Marcus, Plays and Players Nov 1966
"McKellen plays the debunked Napoleon (Man of Destiny), and Sian Phillips the strange lady, a mocking charmer circling round a charming mocker. It all proves that Napoleon was a Great Woman. A light evening, perfectly concocted and charmingly cooked by the actors." — The Daily Mail
