Morgan & West present The Three Musketeers
Sharpen your swords, lace up your boots, and stick a great big feather in your hat - it’s time for adventure. Morgan & West present a fun for all the family retelling of Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers. A cavalcade of whimsy, wit, and (s)wordplay all deftly performed in the great outdoors.
Can the dashing Musketeers retrieve the Queen’s prize diamonds? Will the nefarious Cardinal Richelieu get away with his dastardly scheme? Is it an enormous mistake to wear such elaborate costume at the height of British summer? Find the answers to all of these questions and more only at Morgan & West present The Three Musketeers!
