The Three Musketeers
Book tickets
Royal Armouries is pleased to welcome Illyria to Fort Nelson for this very special outdoor performance of The Three Musketeers.
With a reputation for staging some of the finest swordplay in the business Illyria’s The Three Musketeers promises to be more dazzling than ever!
All for One and One for All!
Alexandre Dumas wrote five Musketeers novels, the first appearing in 1844. They have enjoyed enormous popularity worldwide and are not just textbook examples of the historical romance but also hilarious pastiches of that genre.
This one, the first, remains the greatest. Young D’Artagnan is desperate to join Athos, Porthos and Aramis as an elite Musketeer of the King’s Guard. To prove himself he plunges headlong into a thrilling adventure to retrieve the Queen’s jewels, race the clock to restore Her Majesty’s honour, survive the machinations of scheming Cardinal Richelieu, and cross swords with the deadly Milady de Winter.
Set against a sweeping panorama of 17th-century France at war, it’s a whirlwind of excitement, comedy and ingenious storytelling. Romance, intrigue, murder, betrayal, revenge... It’s got the lot!
