With music by Stephen Weiner and a book by Peter Kellogg, the production presents a contemporary reimagining that restores key elements from Dumas’ original narrative. Directed by Peter Flynn, the show challenges audiences to reflect on the consequences of unchecked power and the possibility of mercy in the pursuit of justice.
