In 1804 with Britain facing with an imminent French invasion, a Dorset country gentleman hatches a plan to thwart the enemy by impersonating Napoleon.
The Devils is a play, commissioned by Sir Peter Hall for the Royal Shakespeare Company and written by British dramatist John Whiting, based on Aldous Huxley's 1952 book, The Devils of Loudun.
In Loudun, the prioress Jeanne’s visions and the nuns’ claims of possession are used to accuse Father Grandier of witchcraft. Grandier’s political conflict with authorities and private relationships fuel his prosecution; he is tortured and burned, and Jeanne eventually recognizes that her accusations arose from unrequited love.
