Written in 1864 and based on Dumas’s sprawing novel of the same name, this play is a tale of murder and ruthless ambition spread through many levels of French society. As a young girl, Leonie barely escapes being killed by her greedy uncle, though her young brother is not so fortunate. With the two children being so conveniently dead, the uncle inherits his deceased brother’s vast fortune. Leonie is raised by a woman with criminal associations, being educated to be a singer under the stage name, Rose Noel. She comes to the attention of three artists–a painter, writer, and doctor–who befriend her. Meanwhile, Mr. Jackal, a police officer with Sherlockian powers of observation, tries to solve the cold case for which another–an innocent–man has been blamed–and in the process coins the classic phrase, Cherchez la Femme! A classic crime drama worthy of the Great Detective himself!
