Cheri-Bibi: The Stage Play

The hulkish Chéri-Bibi, framed for a murder which he did not commit, escapes from Devil's Island by having the dying Marquis du Touchais' face grafted upon his own by a mad surgeon. But fate will not easily relinquish its prey and Chéri-Bibi discovers that his newfound freedom and fortune have come at a terrible price... After The Phantom of the Opera and detective Joseph Rouletabille, Chéri-Bibi is the third legendary hero created by one of France's greatest popular novelist and feuilletoniste of La Belle Epoque, Gaston Leroux (1868-1927).
