Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Great acting, convoluted premise
If the characters have to practically exhaust themselves explaining and re-explaining the play’s bizarre magical phenomenon, it is not a good thing. Way way too much exposition. Tate Donovan and Charles Durning are fabulous however.
