The Story of ‘The Three Musketeers’
The time was the early 1600s in France when there was a battle between the monarchy and the church. The struggle is for power and control, and the Musketeers are the King’s guard. The King’s Musketeers are kept busy fighting off the plans and schemes of the Cardinal.
The Three Musketeers is the story of how D’Artagnan befriends Porthos, Athos, and Artemis to become a musketeer. But this journey is more challenging than it sounds. There are damsels to save and a king to serve.
The Three Musketeers is a fast-paced story with lots of swordplay and a bit of slapstick comedy to make things interesting.
The Performances
The cast is outstanding, and the fight scenes are spot on. Well-rehearsed and excellently directed, the cast brilliantly brings the story to the stage. These are some of the best performances I have seen from these actors.
Even though we all know the basic story of The Three Musketeers, this group of actors breathes fun and excitement into their roles, most definitely outstanding performances from every actor on stage.
The Bottom Line
The Three Musketeers is swashbuckling fun with a splash of romance and a dash of slapstick that will keep you laughing.
