Lux Radio Theater: 'Les Miserables'
Les Misérables is a powerful story that's rich with feeling, the grittiness of life in 19th-century France, and the conflict between right, wrong, and the concept of redemption. Les Misérables takes readers on a journey as it follows ex-convict Jean Valjean after his release from prison. Valjean breaks parole, but he is granted a second chance by a kind bishop. He then tries to live an honest life while ruthless policeman Javert hunts him relentlessly. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.
