A couch, a table, a clock, a box of letters, and a bust of Napoleon are Elizabeth Moody’s only props for her solo performance in the play, “Madame Mere,” which is having its world premiere in The Studio at the Court Theatre in Christchurch. Madame Mere, in her eighties, reminisces about the domestic side of Napoleon’s life, such as his childhood and his marriage to Josephine. The play, set in the 1830s, begins its season on Monday.
