“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.

An epic story of fate and fury, revenge and hubris, ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ is the ultimate tale of vigilante justice. We premiered Alexandre Dumas' formidable page-turner at Brockley Jack Studio Theatre and then toured to Ingatestone Hall, Rye Community Centre, Steeple Aston Village Hall and Alfriston War Memorial Hall (March/April 2011).
