In pursuit of his dream of becoming a Musketeer, young d’Artagnan travels to Paris, where he befriends the legendary Three Inseperables: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. His acts of bravery earn the respect of King Louis XIII but ensnare d’Artagnan in the deadly schemes of Cardinal Richelieu and the beautiful yet depraved Milady Clarik. When the love of his life, Constance Bonacieux, is kidnapped on the eve of war, d’Artagnan must weigh his loyalties to king and country, comrades-in-arms, and the callings of his heart. Journey from Paris to London, from countryside taverns to glittering palaces, from a humble farm in Gascony to the siege of La Rochelle, in an epic tale of passion, intrigue, and adventure. “All for one, and one for all!”
*This adaptation of The Three Musketeers was originally commissioned by the Illinois Shakespeare Festival (Deb Alley, Artistic Director), and premiered there in 2010.
