Originally created in 2016 as the resident theatre company at The Proud Archivist in Haggerston, London.

Athos, Porthos and Aramis, relate the remarkable story of young d'Artagnan.

​

Arriving in Paris to seek a position in the King's Musketeers, d'Artagnan quickly finds himself embroiled in a political game much bigger and much more dangerous than he could possibly have imagined. A thrilling adventure of love and revenge unfolds, in which d'Artagnan must not only save the nation of France but the woman he loves.

​

A fast-paced and physical production, that is as tense and dark, as it is playful and comic.

"This is a text around which a whole myth has emerged. Yet the musketeers of Dumas' novel are hardly the swashbuckling and honourable heroes we imagine - at least not to modern eyes.

The novel is very much a tale of two halves and we have followed that in our adaptation. The first half is a fun, light-hearted adventure story, whilst the second is a dark, political revenge drama.

Our adaptation questions who is good and who is evil, showing the shades of grey in what has traditionally been presented as a black and white world."
