DESCRIPTION
All for one, and one for all!
Step inside 17th century France, into a world of intrigue, romance, and clashing swords in The “Immersive” Three Musketeers.
This is a bold and thrilling reimagining of Alexandre Dumas' timeless tale, set within the grand and atmospheric Copped Hall. Where you are really part of the story as it unfolds around you.
As you journey through the classic of literature, you may stand shoulder to shoulder with the legendary Musketeers, be part courtly conspiracies with the Cardinal, or perhaps overhear secrets meant for Milady's ears. Your tale is unique depending on what you discover and who you meet. It's the closest thing to being within the novel itself. You won’t be asked to perform, but you will be part of the story right there in the thick of it as plots twist and swords flash.
It's a performance with live fight sequences so close you can hear steel sing, witness royal scandals, whispered betrayals, and adventure bought to life in a historic setting.
Whether you’re a lifelong Dumas devotee or stepping into the world of Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D’Artagnan for the first time, this is the Musketeers experience like no other.
Join us as we return to Copped Hall where loyalty is tested, love is dangerous, and the next chapter waits just around the corner.
East 15’s productions are adapted for and created by the company. This ensemble spirit is a crucial part of our ethos on the BA ACTING at East 15 Acting School. Now part of the University of Essex, East 15 was founded over 60 years ago by Maggie Bury to train actors in the tradition of Joan Littlewood’s Theatre Workshop Company at the Theatre Royal Stratford, London.
The Copped Hall bar will be available for refreshments
Early booking is recommended.
