The Three Musketeers

August 8 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

All for one – and one for all! Young D’Artagnan is desperate to join Athos, Porthos and Aramis as an elite Musketeer of the King’s Guard. To prove himself he plunges headlong into a thrilling adventure. He must retrieve the Queen’s jewels, restore Her Majesty’s honour, survive the machinations of scheming Cardinal Richelieu, and cross swords with the deadly Milady de Winter.

Set against a sweeping panorama of 1600s France at war, The Three Musketeers is a whirlwind of excitement, comedy and ingenious storytelling.

Romance! Intrigue! Murder! Betrayal! Revenge…!  It’s got the lot!

With a reputation for the finest swordplay in the business Illyria promises more dazzling swashbuckling than ever! Join the Illyria team at Pontefract Castle for a sparkling adaptation of Dumas’ classic in this magical historic setting.

Recommended for ages 8+. Play contains scenes of peril, politics and passion! Younger children welcome, if they’re brave enough…
