ALEXANDRE dumas’

THE THREE MUSKETEERS | PART I

April 15th- May 10th, 2015

Passionate poetry, soaring romance and swashbuckling swordfights, Quintessence's new adaptation unleashes Dumas' epic adventure as you've never experienced in. Brining to vivid life 17th century France, King Louis XIII, Queen Anne, Cardinal Richelieu, d'Artagnan and the Three Inseperables, Quintessence celebrates its fifth birthday with one of the greatest tales ever told.

REVIEWS

“What is it about The Three Musketeers that still captures our imagination? Quintessence Theatre Group’s new adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ sprawling adventure novel makes some excellent arguments for its continued good health and longevity.”
- The Philadelphia Inquirer

“The production in the round is a masterpiece, intimately presented in the jewel-box Sedgwick Theater.”
- Broad Street Review

“As always with an Alexander Burns production, imagery is rife, props are creative, and jokes come as much from sight gags as from dialogue.”
- Phindie

“Here's hoping the crack adaptation team tackles Part II before too long. To see the two parts of Quintessence's The Three Musketeers performed in repertory is something devoutly to be wished for.”
