The Three Musketeers June 20, 2010

Ellen Geer's world premiere adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' swashbuckling novel. When a young dreamer named d'Artagnan leaves home for Paris to become a member of the famed royal guard, The Musketeers, he encounters a trio of comrades who embody the motto, "All for one and one for all." Dumas' epic adventure, replete with political intrigue, scandalous liaisons, murderous espionage and undying love, is set in the 17th century, but its message about upholding one's honor with unwavering devotion to friends and countrymen is never outdated. The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum is an enchanted oasis in the midst of L.A., offering affordable, family-friendly plays in its magical, outdoor Topanga Canyon setting. French buffet "Musketeer Meals," with a costumed cast of swashbucklers and saucy chambermaids in attendance, take place every Friday in September at 6:30 pm in the theater's adjacent gardens, followed by an 8 pm performance. (separate admission, or combo packages available). June 12 thru October 3. Theatricum Botanicum 1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd, Topanga CA 90290. $10-$32; 310-455-3723; complete schedule at www.theatricum.com.
