Three Musketeers!

About the Play
The Three Musketeers (French: Les Trois Mousquetaires) is a novel by Alexandre Dumas, first serialized in March–July 1844. Set in the 17th century, it recounts the adventures of a young man named d’Artagnan after he leaves home to travel to Paris, to join the Musketeers of the Guard. D’Artagnan is not one of the musketeers of the title; those are his friends Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, inseparable friends who live by the motto “all for one, one for all” (“tous pour un, un pour tous”), a motto which is first put forth by d’Artagnan.
In this Pantoesque treatment of the classic story, Cardinal Richelieu is once again trying to usurp the throne of France by stealing the crown jewels. In desperation, the Queen turns to the Three Musketeers – Athos, Porthos and Aramis. In retaliation, the Cardinal turns to his servant, Brie and the seductive Milady. Deception, mayhem, sword fights and hilarity ensue.
