The Count of Monte Cristo
by Alexandre Dumas
adapted by Connie Stephens
presented by Myriad Productions

In return for a slow, profound, eternal torture, I would give back the same; an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Young Edmond Dantes has it all, the love of the beautiful Mercedes, a promising career of adventure on the high seas and a remarkably well-balanced relationship with his father. But all is not as rosy as it seems, for Edmond is the unwitting victim of three envious acquaintances who devise a scheme to falsely accuse him of treason. Sentenced to life in prison, Dantes must find a means to escape the impenetrable walls of the Chateau d’If, discover the whereabouts of Mercedes and exact a terrible revenge upon the men who robbed him of his future.

Alexandre Dumas’ formidable page-turner is brought to the stage in this rollicking new adaptation, which premieres at the Jack prior to a national UK tour. An epic story of fate and fury, revenge and hubris, ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ is the ultimate tale of vigilante justice.

He will be revenged!

Tuesday 15 – Saturday 19 March at 7.45pm
Tickets: £12, 10 conc.

Deirdre and Me – Brockley Jack until February 5

The last two shows at the Brockley Jack were complete sell-outs –  make sure you get to see this.  

Susan White is 35.
Average height.
Average build.
Average looks.
But there’s something far from average about Susan.

Susan is best friends with Deirdre Barlow, infact she is the No. 1 super fan of the TV soap star from Coronation Street. From liaisons with Mike Baldwin, on-going problems with the Platts and the campaign to free the Weatherfield One, Susan has mentally catalogued all of the intimate details of the former Mrs. Rashid.

An original one woman show full of laugh out loud yet poignant humour in the style of Alan Bennett and Victoria Wood.

Following sell out performances in London, and prior to a national UK tour.

Written and performed by Rachael Halliwell
presented by Language Laid Bare
directed by Louisa Fitzgerald
