This Alexandre Dumas drama, penned just three years after the death
of the great English Shakespearean actor, Edmund Kean (1787-1833),
is filled with an immense joie de vivre, and is perhaps based on
the playwright's own character. Kean, although an acknowledged
player of great power and genius, led a very disordered personal
life, associating with the lowlifes of the time, going on binges of
alcohol and drugs, hobnobbing with royalty one minute and with
mountebanks the next, brawling in a tavern or dining with
diplomats. In the end, this fascinating, highly intelligent,
likable, volatile, unstable, and passionate actor burned himself
out, ruining his health and spirit, and collapsing on stage. One of
Dumas's best plays, KEAN is filled with drama, humanity, and humor.
