Off the Ground Theatre were busy sharpening their rapiers, practising lunges and flirting outrageously in preparation for this summer's touring production of The Musketeers. There was overwhelming amounts of swash and buckle as the, now slightly older, heroes with a little help from Athos’ son and D’Artagnan’s daughter, charmed women (and some men), quaffed wine and fought off Spanish and Dutch spies- all in the name of France.

This new story, written especially for the company by Daniel G Cambridge, brings the Musketeers back together after they first met twenty years ago. And this time, the whole future of Europe is at stake as mysterious powers aim to topple the most powerful people throughout the continent.

Make sure you check out the bottom of the gallery to see Musketeers with lightsabres! Huge thanks to JonHall Photo.

It is packed with zest, humour, poignancy.sword fencing and fight sequences are real crowd pleasers for all ages….an evening of delight. *****- Must See Musketeers.”
