The Count of Monte Cristo

By Alexandre Dumas, Adapted by Charles Fechter and James O'Neill, Additional restoration by William Davies King for Peter Sellars
| Directed by Marcela Lorca
June 4 – October 11, 2015

Edmond Dantès has it all—a flourishing naval career, loyal friends, a bright future. But he also has an enemy, a jealous schemer who will stop at nothing to steal what Dantès loves most: his beautiful fiancée. A trap is set, Dantès is wrongfully imprisoned . . . and the tangle of lies that changes his life in an instant takes years to undo. Alexandre Dumas’ classic tale of vengeance comes alive in this 19th-century adaptation that was one of the most-performed plays in America under its star James O’Neill, whose son Eugene later memorialized him in the semiautobiographical Long Day’s Journey into Night.
Suitability Suggestions

Adapted from the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo is an action-packed tale with a sharp comedic edge and romantic heart that plays out with panache and style. With some preparation on the intricacies of the plot, it is suitable for the entire family.
