The hugely popular musical Les Miserables, based on the French novel by Victor Hugo, is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a fresh take on the original production.

Set in 19th Century France, it follows the story of ex-conv Jean Valjean who escapes parole and goes on the run from the cold and calculating Inspector Javert. Directors Laurence Connor and James Powell have managed to create a subtle re-imagining of the tragic tale, including a dark atmospheric set which helps create a more intimate, realistic landscape than ever seen before.

Les Miserables will be showing throughout 2010 with performances in the Palace Theatre in Manchester as well as Queen’s Theatre in London.
