Virtue and villainy collide in this rollicking knockabout version of the legendary Dumas tale. Follow the adventures of the roguishly handsome and naive D'Artagnan as he leaves his family farm in Gascogny and heads for the big city lights of Paris in his quest to join the famed Mousquetaires. But the road to becoming a Mousquetaire is not a smooth one - along the way, he encounters the Cardinal's men, falls in love, and is swept up into the intrigues of the deceitful French Court. This swashbuckling epic is brought to life in TSF's inimitable physical and visual 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 (with a touch of the Pythonesque) combine to make Les Trois Mousquetaires an all action adventure. See this outstanding international band of actors bring Dumas' original bestseller to the stage as never before with joie de vivre, live music, brio et brioches!

Performed in French with a little English and Spanish. And don't worry if you don't speak French - this is definitely a show where actions speak louder than words! And you'll be singing the theme tune long after the play is over!

Toured theatres throughout the UK in autumn 2009.

Reviews

Hexham Courant
This hilarious rendition of Dumas's tale has the energy TSF fans have come to expect. With accordion playing as well as singing, the show should have something for everyone.
