About

Staffordshire’s New Vic will stage a brand-new version of Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers this Christmas. The show follows on from Theresa Heskins’ adaptation of The Nutcracker in 2023 and will introduce a new generation of children to this classic literary tale, on the New Vic’s in-the-round stage from Friday 15 November 2024 to Saturday 25 January 2025.

Arguably Dumas’ best-known tale, The Three Musketeers was one of over 250 novels penned by the French writer, and captured imaginations the instant the story entered the public domain.  For this new production, Theresa Heskins will return to Dumas’ original 1844 story, first published in serial form in the French newspaper Le Siècle.

A story about friendship, social mobility, courage and doing what is right, The Three Musketeers is one of the greatest adventure stories ever told. Join well-loved characters d’Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, Aramis and the mysterious Milady de Winter for a show packed with fast-paced action, music and theatricality in a production suitable for all ages.
