\nPROLOGUE: 1815, DIGNE
\nAfter 19 years on the chain gang, Jean Valjean finds that the ticket-of-leave he must display condemns him to be an outcast. Only the Bishop of Digne treats him kindly and Valjean, embittered by years of hardship, repays him by stealing some silver. Valjean is caught and brought back by the police and is astonished when the Bishop lies to the police to save him. Valjean decides to start his life anew.<\/p>\n
1823, MONTREUIL-SUR-MER
\nEight years have passed and Valjean, having broken his parole and changed his name to Monsieur Madeleine, has become a factory owner and Mayor. One of his workers, Fantine, has a secret illegitimate child. When the other women discover this, they demand her dismissal.<\/p>\n
Desperate for money to pay for medicines for her daughter, joins the whores in selling herself. Utterly degraded, she gets into a fight with a prospective customer and is about to be taken to prison by Javert when \u2018The Mayor\u2019 arrives and demands she be taken to hospital instead.<\/p>\n
The Mayor then rescues a man pinned beneath a cart. Javert is reminded of the abnormal strength of convict 24601 Jean Valjean, who, he says, has just been recaptured. Valjean, unable to see an innocent man go to prison, confesses that he is prisoner 24601.<\/p>\n
At the hospital, Valjean promises the dying Fantine to find and look after her daughter Cosette. Javert arrives to arrest him, but Valjean escapes.<\/p>\n
1823, MONTFERMEIL,
\nCosette has been lodged with the Th\u00e9nardiers, who horribly abuse her while indulging their own daughter, Eponine. Valjean pays the Th\u00e9nardiers to let him take her away to Paris.<\/p>\n
1832, PARIS
\nNine years later, there is unrest in the city because of the likely demise of the popular leader General Lamarque, the only man left in the government who shows any feeling for the poor. Marius, one of the student leaders meet Cossette briefly. It was a mutual love at first sight.<\/p>\n
The Th\u00e9nardiers\u2019 daughter Eponine, who is secretly in love with the student Marius, reluctantly agrees to help him find Cosette, with whom he has fallen in love.<\/p>\n
News of General Lamarque\u2019s death circulates in the city and a group of politically-minded students stream out into the streets to whip up support for a revolution.<\/p>\n
ACT TWO
\nThe students prepare to build the barricade. Marius, noticing that Eponine has joined the insurrection, sends her away with a letter to Cosette, which is intercepted by Valjean. Eponine decides to rejoin her love at
\nthe barricade. In trying to return to the barricade, Eponine is killed.
\nValjean arrives at the barricade in search of Marius. He is given the chance to kill Javert but instead lets him go. Valjean prays to God to save Marius. The next day the rebels are all killed.<\/p>\n
Valjean escapes into the sewers with the unconscious Marius where he comes across Javert once more. He pleads for time to deliver the young man to hospital. Javert lets Valjean go and, his unbending principles of justice having been shattered by Valjean\u2019s own mercy, he kills himself.<\/p>\n
Unaware of the identity of his rescuer, Marius recovers in Cosette\u2019s care. Valjean confesses the truth of his past to Marius and insists he must go away to protect Cossette but gives consent for the two to be married.
\nAt Marius and Cosette\u2019s wedding, Marius\u2019s realises it was Valjean who rescued him that night at the barricades. He and Cosette go to Valjean where Cosette learns for the first time of her own history before the Valjean dies.<\/p>\n
