The year is 1804. Napoleon Bonaparte has just been crowned Emperor of France and he would really like his younger sister to behave like a good girl. Her new husband, Prince Camillo Borghese of Italy, would appreciate the same.

Pauline has other ideas.

When Camillo commissions the renowned sculptor Antonio Canova to create a virginal statue of Pauline, she shocks the world by instead posing buck ass naked. 

This play takes place at the party where the statue is unveiled. 

At its heart, this is a story of men in power telling a woman what to do with her own body — and that woman tells them to f*** right off.
