Remy is the story of an ambitious boy with a dangerous hero. Aptly set in the atmospheric vault beneath St Augustine's church, we find Remy, years later, in his prison cell where he relives his dreams, horrors, friendships and experiences of love. Tumbling from rustic France, through the Iberian Peninsula and spilling out into the English Fens, Remy breathes his story to life by transforming the ordinary objects around him into the extraordinary people and places which have shaped his past. Remy tells a story from a forgotten fragment of history offering a rare opportunity to taste the Napoleonic Wars. Tracing the map that Napoleon carved, Remy encounters the horrors of guerrilla warfare for the first time, a development which has influenced the style of war today. As a victim of a dictator's charisma, power and ultimate abandonment, Remy is a relic of the damaged men left behind.
