The Count of Monte Cristo
I played Mercédès, Edmond’s love who ends up marrying Fernand, in this short play version of Alexandre Dumas’ novel. A young man, Edmond Dantes, is falsely imprisoned by his jealous “friend”, Fernand Mondego, so he can steal his bride-to-be (Mercédès). Years later, he manages to escape and uses a hidden treasure to exact his revenge.
