INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Repertory Theatre (IRT) theatre-goers might be delighted to find musketeers off the stage and dueling in front of the historic building for the opening night celebration of The Three Musketeers, which runs Sept. 20 through Oct. 15 on the OneAmerica Mainstage. Tickets are on sale now.
“Dueling was a mania in France during the era of The Three Musketeers, and the resulting societal cost was high,” said fight choreographer Paul Dennhardt. “We’re approaching twelve duels, brawls and struggles in a way that will emphasize both the adventure and reality of the duels in an exciting, scary, messy, organic and lethal way.” But dueling musketeers aren’t the only thing that will have patrons on the edge of their seats.
The production, under the direction of Henry Woronicz, brings shadowy lighting to create mystery and intrigue, while illuminating the scenic conventions of 17th century France. Add feather-topped hats, boots and suspenseful, adventure-provoking music and away the production goes!
“Whether you come for the wonderful historic costumes, swashbuckling adventure, multiple romance stories or the historical intrigue, our The Three Musketeers contains it all and will sweep you along in an amazing evening of classic theatre with a lot of flair,” said Artistic Director and co-CEO, Janet Allen.
