About the show:

Isolating in her apartment during the early months of the coronavirus pandemic, a lonely bookworm discovers Alexandre Dumas’s novel The Count of Monte Cristo. The classic novel of adventure, intrigue, and revenge comes to life around her, immersing her in an exciting new world and a story which hits surprisingly close to home. MonteCristo2020 expresses the pain of loss and isolation while celebrating the resilience of hope and the sustaining power of stories.
