Edmund Dantes is looking pretty: young, in love and newly promoted Captain of his own ship! But when greed and envy conspire to throw him into a lifetime of jail for a crime he didn't commit, all seems lost. Facing an eternity of darkness and solitude, Dantes must dig deep to find the strength to escape and seek his revenge - he must find new steel within his soul - he must become The Count of Monte Cristo. Company Boudin's energetic, exciting and rousing adaptation of the epic book that everyone should read. In this new adaptation from Company Boudin and directed by Andy Burden, the book is retold and re-enacted by the workers of a cigar factory who are read ?Monte Cristo' everyday whilst they work. But quickly the factory fades away and we are transported into the dramatic world of Dumas' book... Running time: 1hr 30mins.
