The play is based on a novel written by Frenchman Victor Hugo and published in 1862. Set in early 19th-century France, it tells the story of Jean Valjean, a former convict who violates the terms of his parole but finds redemption in the ensuing years through a series of virtuous and philanthropic deeds. Mahle, a theatre professor, is not only overseeing the set, but also playing the role of Javert, a lawman and long-time nemesis of Val jean, who Javert is determined to see punished for his crimes.
