The Three Musketeers by John Nicholson and Le Navet Bete and an amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
Armed only with a baguette and his questionable steed, join hot-headed D'Artagnan as he travels to Paris full of childish excitement and misplaced bravado to become a Musketeer. Will things go to plan? It's unlikely. He immediately encounters the dangerous femme fatale, Milady de Winter. After discovering that the musketeers have been disbanded, he makes it his mission to get them reinstated. But will his feud with Milady thwart him? And who the heck is she?
This riotous adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel by John Nicholson (Hound of the Baskervilles, Peepolykus) was originally performed by physical-comedy theatre company Le Navet Bete on a UK tour in 2019, with four actors playing over thirty characters. It was co-produced by Le Navet Bete and Exeter Northcott Theatre.
Class Act adults will have a little more help in the way of supporting cast but this promises to be their most hilariously chaotic adventure yet!
