Review: The Further Adventures of Three Musketeers (Oak Meadow Park)

Today, we saw the play "The Further Adventures of Three Musketeers" by the Los Gatos Shakespeare Company in Oak Meadow Park (on an outdoor stage).

The play is loosely based on Alexander Dumas' The Three Musketeers series of novels. We enjoyed the performance and Alex liked all of the sword-play.

It's all for one and one for all in this premiere production, written by Mark D. Pickens exclusively for Festival Theatre Ensemble. This original script is based on the much-loved characters from the novels of Alexandre Dumas. Join D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, Aramis and a host of other cavalier-era characters as they attempt some impossible feats in the name of love. Swords, romance, and high adventure abound in this comic romp through 17th-century Paris, where the Musketeers cross paths, wits and swords with Cardinal Richelieu and his minions once more, while they court fine ladies and try to capture a dangerous spy. Polish up your boots, buckle on your swords and join us!
