Paris. Mid-19th century. As the old aristocracy dies off, vast
inheritances become the object of a colossal struggles between the
forces of good and evil. The stalwart Comte de Kergaz and the
dashing reformed courtesan known as Baccarat clash with the
infamous Club of the Jack of Hearts; their leader is none other
than Armand's half-brother, the evil Andrea, a.k.a. Sir Williams.
Standing alone in the midst of this struggle is Rocambole, a
resourceful young man who owes allegiance to none but himself and
whose actions will eventually tilt the balance. The immortal hero
created in 1857 by Ponson du Terrail stars here in two plays, one
written contemporaneously in 1864 chronicling the fall of the Jack
of Hearts, and the other, a modern adaptation penned in 1951
revisiting the very first exploits of a young Rocambole. Both are
translated by playwright Frank J. Morlock who also adapted Lord
Ruthven the Vampire, The Return of Lord Ruthven and the Arshne
Lupin vs Sherlock Holmes stage play for Black Coast Press.
