A wild new adaptation of the thrilling novel, for all ages
It is 1625, or twenty-five past four.
When the innocent D’Artagnan sets off to Paris to become a Musketeer, a life of danger, romance and anarchy lies ahead.
Young King Louis XIII’s loose grip on power and his marriage is a delicious opportunity for the dastardly Cardinal Richelieu and mysterious Milady.
Landing in the centre of this cut-throat world, D’Artagnan races through the streets and the battlefields on the trail of his abducted sweetheart Constance, fighting for honour and dodging the target on his back.
But whenever strife is near, his new pals appear: The Three Musketeers. ‘One for all, and all for one!’
This Christmas, Told by an Idiot unleash their trademark visual comedy on Alexandre Dumas’ thrilling classic novel in a theatrical feast full of energy, joy and a raging zest for life.
Joining the previously announced Ayesha Antoine as Porthos, Patricia Rodríguez as Aramis and Sophie Russell as Athos are Aitor Basauri as The Plot Teller, Simon Oskarsson as D’Artagnan and Laura Rogers as Milady.
Completing the company are Kimmy Edwards as the Abbess and Landlady, Jasmine Elcock as The Queen, Michael Elcock as Rochefort, Matt Gavan as The King, Nick Haverson as Cardinal Richelieu and Jean Claude, Martin Hyder as Monsieur Treville and Landlord, and Natalie Kimmerling as Kitty, David Olaniregun as Buckingham and Tanvi Virmani as Constance, with Greg Bernstein, Kelise Gordon-Harrison and Theo Reece as ensemble.
