	CliffsNotes::The Count of Monte Cristo:Book Summary and Study Guide
		Dumas' well-known collaboration with Auguste Maquet began in 1837 and resulted in a series of historical novels in which Dumas hoped to reconstruct the major events of French history.
		In 1851, Dumas moved to Brussels, as much for his political advantage as it was to escape creditors—despite the 1,200 volumes which bore his name—and he died not long after a scandalous liaison with an American circus girl, a situation that he might well have chosen as a fictional framework for his demise.
		Dumas' son, Alexandre Dumas fils, is remembered today chiefly for his first novel, The Lady of the Camellias, which was the basis for the libretto of Verdi's opera La Traviata, as well as for the plot of one of Hollywood's classic films, Camille, starring Greta Garbo.

		When a creature who has taken all her past to reproach herself with is taken all at once by a profound, sincere, irresistible love, of which she had never felt herself capable;...They have lied so often that no one will believe them, and in the midst of their remorse they are devoured by their love."

	Ladies of the Camellias, a CurtainUp Los Angeles review
		Alexandre Dumas, Fils, (Mark Bramhall) who wrote The Lady of the Camellias, is driven to distraction by both actresses's interpreations of the tragic heroine based on his real life love.
		Worms comes out on top, though not literally as every time Bernhardt embraces him, he is smothered in her feather boa and he keeps falling out of bed into the coffin she always travels with.
		Mark Bramhall makes a dapper distraught Dumas, Louis Lotort is a feisty Worms, Marcelo Tubert is dashingly devastated as Flavio, Tony Abatemarco's M. Benoit is so infused with energy that this subsidiary part becomes as important to us as it does to him.

		Fortunino Giuseppe Francesco Verdi was born at Le Roncole, near Bussetto, in the Duchy of Parma, on October 9 or 10, 1813, and died in Milan on January 27, 1901.
		La Traviata, to a libretto by Francesco Piave based on the play The Lady of the Camellias by Alexandre Dumas fils, was premiered in Venice on March 6, 1853.
		Verdi was surely attracted to the subject matter (which was daring in being one of the first operas ever to be set in a present-day setting) because it strongly echoed a situation in his own personal life.

		Randy Moore, as Benoit (a once-famous actor and now Bernhardt's prompter) and Philip Pleasants as Alexandre Dumas, fils (the playwright of the play-within-the-play) capture the atmospherics of European theatre at that time, dropping names (Shaw and Wilde, Rimbaud and Verlaine), sharing war stories, and providing color on the struggles between actors, writers, directors, and designers.
		Mark Rubald handles this juicy role with relish, not only inhabiting Coquelin with gusto, but lighting up the role (here unrevealed) that made the actor famous.
		Groag then returns to her original challenge and does both big-hearted ladies proud.
