Virtue and villainy collided in this rollicking knockabout version of the legendary Dumas tale. Théâtre Sans Frontières presented this swashbuckling epic in their own inimitable physical style along with a fiendish new twist for the 21st Century. Handsome, hunky and hairy as they are - Les Trois Mousquetaires are all women!!
Parody, puppetry and cracking comedy combined to make Les Trois Mousquetaires the All Action Adventure Comedy of the Century. The outstanding international band of actors from France, England, Spain and USA brought Dumas' original bestseller to the stage as never before with joie de vivre, live music, brio et brioches!
Adapted by Edward Kemp from the novel by Alexandre Dumas, Les Trois Mousquetaires was performed in French with a little English and Spanish.
