Gwybodaeth Bellach:
Fannie lifts the character of Fantine out of Les Miserables, and places her at the centre of her own story. After she is dismissed from her factory job, revealed as an unmarried mother, Fannie is pushed to greater and greater extremes in her determination to send money to the people looking after her child. Is there any escape? This is a story of desperation, but also of the depths of love and the soaring possibilities of hope.
