    CAMERON MACKINTOSH’S ACCLAIMED NEW PRODUCTION BOUBLIL & SCHÖNBERG’S LEGENDARY MUSICAL Lyrics by HERBERT KRETZMER EDUCATION RESOURCE PACK AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2014 TM © 1986 CMOL TM © 1986 CMOL Les Misérables – Education Resource Pack OVERTURE: AN INTRODUCTION Dear Teacher, Welcome to the Education Resource Pack for the 2014 Australian tour of the classic musical, Les Misérables. This education program is designed for students aged 13 years and over to coincide with the suggested age group for attendance to the stage musical. This resource includes discussion points and seven lesson plans, as well as supporting material surrounding the production. The activities focus on the transfer of the classic tale from page to stage and then screen and universal themes such as: social structure, poverty, crime and punishment. In addition, activities surround aspects of the live production, including characterisation, music and staging which lead to students writing their own personal review of the show. Each activity is based around the challenges faced turning a classic and much-loved novel into a fully staged musical theatre production (and then a feature film), maintaining the existing plot, characters and their environment, complete with a libretto, comprehensive staging and a complex physical production. Combined with a visit to the show these lessons will give your students an insight in the production of the musical, as well as a pivotal time in French history and the personal journeys of Victor Hugo’s famous characters including Jean Valjean, Javert, Fantine, Eponine, Cosette and Marius. This resource pack has been created for use in the classroom and is designed to facilitate discussion and the gaining of knowledge surrounding the complex elements which, when combined, result in this production.
