Napoleon's Whore Sister has a cast of four women with incredible comedic timing and fully realized characters and performance. Hats off to the Prince who stepped into the role at today's performance and NAILED IT. Loved the mix of modern and period. One of the more enjoyable experiences I've had at Fringe this year....
