Les Miserables... THE PLAY!!!

  On March 11, The Abba's Orchard School, my school, did a play called "Les Miserables" (Lay Miserab, that's how you say it). It has been a play that we've practiced for months (almost the whole school year) and at the end... was a complete SUCCESS!!!!

But also, left everyone very tired...

This just goes to show that the saying "Practice makes perfect" is one of the most truthful sayings you will ever hear.

So... for those people who do not know the story of Les Miserables, here's the summary:

It all starts with a convict name Jean Valjean, who was released from prison after nineteen years. Having no where else to go, Valjean knocks on the door of M. Myriel, a kind bishop of Digne. The priest treats the man with kindness, and was repaid by getting his silverware stolen. The police captures Valjean, but the Priest lies to the police telling them he gave the silverware as a gift. The police release Valjean and the Priest makes hom promise to be an honest man. Eager to fulfill his promise, Valjean goes to another palce and disguises himself as another man named Madeleine. He becomes successful and was named Mayor of the town....

Fantine, a young woman who was impregnated by a student and was abandoned, strives to make money for the Thenardiers ( a family who runs an inn), who is in possesion of her daughter.... Cosette. She works at the factory Madeleine spent on, but was then fired after they found out she had a child. With no other choice, because the Thenardiers were demanding more money "for Cosette", she became a prostitute, after selling her beautiful hair. One night, Javert (a police chief) arrests Fantine. She was supposed to be sent to prison, but Mendeleine interfered. Fantine falls ill and longs to see Cosette... This is taking too long, so I guess I have to summarize the summary!

Madeleine Promises to bring Cosette to Fantine, but gets into a heated argument with Javert after Javert found out that he was Valjean. because of shock, Fantine died. Valjean spends 5 years in prison and comes looking for Cosette afterwards. He finds Cosette and pays the Thenardiers  a large amount of money for her...

Years later, Fantine is walking in a park and see's Marius (with the students), and it was love at first sight. But Valjean gets protective of Cosette and leads her away. He gets curious and ask his friend, Eponine, about her (Who is the daughter of the Thenardiers). After knowing eachother, they fell in love, leaving Eponine sad because she had a secret crush on Marius...

The students plan on going against the... Government? (I don't know what it's called during their time) making Marius join them in battle. After the battle, almost everyone dies. Valjean searches for Marius, only to find him halfdead. Valjean saved him, wanting Cosette to be happy...

Marius gets married to Cosette and Valjean dies... after seeing all the dead people in his past life....

And that's out play!! Here are pictures of the play:
