The Three Musketeers - Le Panteau!

Here we find those famous swashbucklers, Porthos, Aramis, Athos and D'Artagnan, effortlessly recast as a bevy of roistering, thigh slapping lovelies Principal Garcons par excellence

Throw in the despicable Cardinal Richeleeugh, his debauched sidekick Le Chevalier Du Lobster Roquefort, a clutch of other eminently hissable villains, plus a giant pantomime snail, and you have all the ingredients for un panteau cordon bleu

With no opportunity missed to involve the audience, the chance to incorporate around a dozen musical numbers, and loads of truly wicked jokes at the expense of our near, dear neighbours, the French

The Three Musketeers Le Panteau! offers all that's best about traditional festive entertainment, but with the added attraction of a colourful new setting based on an established and well-loved tale

Most amateur societies have twice as many female actors as male actors, yet most pantomimes provide for only two or three female principals

Well this show boasts seven, with the avowed intention to give the ladies a fair crack of the whip

And the chance to show they can roister and swashbuckle with the best of them!
