Les Miserables - CBS Radio Mystery Theater
Les Misérables is a French historical novel by Victor Hugo, first published in 1862, that is considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. In the English-speaking world, the novel is usually referred to by its original French title. However, several alternatives have been used, including The Miserables, The Wretched, The Miserable Ones, The Poor Ones, The Wretched Poor, The Victims and The Dispossessed. Beginning in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, the novel follows the lives and interactions of several characters, particularly the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his experience of redemption.

Les Miserables (2002) by Victor Hugo, starring Roger Allam
Support me on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/mysteriousmagpie
I don't know if Les Miserables is widely thought of as an adventure story - I assume the actual Misery of the story, its concern with the plight of the wretched, probably pulls away from any sense of romance inherent to the narrative. And yet, I'd argue that while it's more than an adventure story it is, nonetheless, as much of an adventure story as something like The Count of Monte Cristo. Jean Valjean actually isn't so far away from Monte Cristo, serving a long and unjust prison sentence before finally returning to the outside world as a changed and tortured man - but a man who finds a purpose in a new identity with a determination to right certain wrongs. Unlike the vengeful Monte Cristo, Valjean lives a life that weaves into grea...

As Valjean builds a new life, he comes across Fantine, a destitute woman forced into prostitution to support her daughter, Cosette. Upon Fantine's death, Valjean vows to care for her child. Conflict arises as Valjean is relentlessly pursued by Inspector Javert, a dogged policeman who believes in the absolute enforcement of the law.
Valjean's journey brings him into the heart of the socio-political struggles of France, including the June Rebellion of 1832. Along the way, he encounters various characters, such as the young lovers Marius and Cosette, and the street-smart urchin Gavroche. Valjean's ultimate test comes as he risks his freedom and life to help others, embodying themes of justice, love, and redemption.
Orson Welles directed, adapted, and starred as Jean Valjean in the radio series, supported by actors Martin Gabel as Javert, Alice Frost as Fantine, and Virginia Nicolson as Cosette. The production marked the radio debut of Welles's Mercury Theatre and is celebrated as one of his early, significant achievements in radio drama.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater (a.k.a. Radio Mystery Theater and Mystery Theater, sometimes abbreviated as CBSRMT) is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed.
The format was similar to that of classic old time radio shows like The Mysterious Traveler and The Whistler, in that the episodes were introduced by host E. G. Marshall who provided pithy wisdom and commentary throughout. Unlike the hosts of those earlier programs, Marshall is fully mortal, merely someone whose heightened insight and erudition plunge the listener into the world of the macabre (in a manner similar to that of "The Man in Black" on yet another old time radio program, Suspense).

Les Misérables has been popularized through numerous adaptations for film, television and the stage, including a musical.
The Mercury Theatre on the Air is a radio series of live radio dramas created by Orson Welles.

The series began July 11, 1938, as a sustaining program on the CBS Radio network, airing Mondays at 9 pm ET. On September 11, the show moved to Sundays at 8 pm.
The show made headlines with its "The War of the Worlds" broadcast on October 30, one of the most famous broadcasts in the history of radio due to the panic it allegedly caused, after which the Campbell Soup Company signed on as sponsor.

Support me on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/mysteriousmagpie
I don't know if Les Miserables is widely thought of as an adventure story - I assume the actual Misery of the story, its concern with the plight of the wretched, probably pulls away from any sense of romance inherent to the narrative. And yet, I'd argue that while it's more than an adventure story it is, nonetheless, as much of an adventure story as something like The Count of Monte Cristo. Jean Valjean actually isn't so far away from Monte Cristo, serving a long and unjust prison sentence before finally returning to the outside world as a changed and tortured man - but a man who finds a purpose in a new identity with a determination to right certain wrongs. Unlike the vengeful Monte Cristo, Valjean lives a life that weaves into great events in French history and to themes of redemption and forgiveness - but all throughout his life he is pursued by his implacable, unforgiving nemesis, Inspector Javert.
This is a really long radio drama - it was originally broadcast over five weeks, in 25 daily episode... but I think it's a great story so it's all here in one great big video. It benefits from the distinctive narration of Joss Ackland, and David Schofield perfect as Javert - but also the great Roger Allam as Jean Valjean. This seems more than a little poetic as Allam had, many years earlier, been the first actor to play Javert in the London production of the Les Mis. musical. To fans of that production it might almost feel as if Javert himself is now doing penance, living the life of the man he once pursued so relentlessly...
