By popular demand the GandS Society will be staging a return season of their award winning production of perhaps the greatest musical ever written, Claude-Michel SchÁ¶enberg and Alain Boublil’s multi-award winning worldwide mega-musical Les Misérables. Les Miserables follows the life of Jean Valjean who, after being released from 19 years of unjust imprisonment, meets only mistrust and and contempt whilst shackled to the stigma of being an ex-convict. Breaking his parole, he creates a new identity for himself and flees from his old life. He is pursued obsessively by the police inspector Javert who, believing people cannot change for the better, is determined to bring him to ‘justice’. Les Misérables is an expansive and emotionally complex journey that explores a multitude of themes and ideas, from forgiveness and self-sacrifice, to courage and hope, and ultimately, grace.
