After 19 years as a prisoner, Jean Valjean is freed by Javert , the officer in charge of the prison workforce. Valjean promptly breaks parole but later uses money from stolen silver to reinvent himself as a mayor and factory owner. Javert vows to bring Valjean back to prison. Eight years later, Valjean becomes the guardian of a child named Cosette after her mother's death, but Javert's relentless pursuit means that peace will be a long time coming.

Tickets, priced €25 each, will be available online at www.eskerarts.ie.
