Three generations of notorious Dumas appear in this swashbuckling play filled with tales of war, sword fights, masked balls, and romantic escapades. General Thomas Dumas, the son of a French aristocrat and a black servant woman, was one of Napoleon's most prized generals. His son, Alexandre Dumas père, author of The Three Musketeers, lives a life as daring and full of intrigue as the characters in his own plays and novels. His son, Alexandre Dumas fils, struggles to come to terms with his father's apparent immoral lifestyle, his own racial heritage, and rumors of his grandfather's defection.
