Sue Russell Jones has obtained matinee tickets for The Three Musketeers at Stratford on Wednesday 30th December.

It is 1625.

When the innocent D’Artagnan sets off to Paris to become a Musketeer, a life of danger, romance and anarchy lies ahead. Young King Louis’ loose grip on power and his marriage is an opportunity for the dastardly Cardinal Richelieu. 

Landing in the centre of this cut-throat world, D’Artagnan races through the streets and the battlefields on the trail of his abducted sweetheart Constance, fighting for honour and his life. But whenever danger is near, his new pals appear: The Three Musketeers. ‘One for all, and all for one!’ 

This Christmas, Told by an Idiot unleash their trademark visual comedy on Alexandre Dumas’ thrilling classic novel in a theatrical feast full of energy, joy and a raging zest for life.

Tickets are £65 which includes return coach travel from Worcester and theatre ticket. 

Departure is from Perdiswell Leisure Centre, Bilford Road, Worcester, WR3 8DX.

The coach will leave at 10.30 so please aim to be there by 10.15. This leaves plenty of time to have a look around Stratford or have an early lunch before the matinee performance which starts at 1pm.  We should be home by 5pm traffic permitting.
