NR's Greg Bernstein joins the cast of the RSC's Christmas production of The Three Musketeers

It is 1625, or twenty-five past four.

When the innocent D’Artagnan sets off to Paris to become a Musketeer, a life of danger, romance and anarchy lies ahead. 

Young King Louis XIII’s loose grip on power and his marriage is a delicious opportunity for the dastardly Cardinal Richelieu and mysterious Milady. 

Landing in the centre of this cut-throat world, D’Artagnan races through the streets and the battlefields on the trail of his abducted sweetheart Constance, fighting for honour and dodging the target on his back. 

But whenever strife is near, his new pals appear: The Three Musketeers. ‘One for all, and all for one!’ 

This Christmas, Told by an Idiot unleash their trademark visual comedy on Alexandre Dumas’ thrilling classic novel in a theatrical feast full of energy, joy and a raging zest for life.
