Abstract
Artsmart Series - Dr. Robert Watson keynotes the Kravis Center's luncheon gala ahead of the showing of the musical Les Misérables.
This masterpiece is set in 19th century France after the bloody French Revolution. It follows the tragic lives of Jean Valjean and Fantine who both have secrets. Their stories collide in a sweeping tale of love, loss, sacrifice, broken dreams and deception amidst the tumultuous Paris uprising in 1823. Dr. Watson shares insights into the storyline, the horrors of the French Revolution, the real Paris Uprising and brutal life in Paris for the peasantry.
