About

The award-winning outdoor theatre company ‘Illyria’ is set to visit Mid & East Antrim with an exciting production of The Three Musketeers this summer.

All for One - and One for All!

Young D’Artagnan is desperate to join Athos, Porthos and Aramis as an elite Musketeer of the King’s Guard. To prove himself he plunges headlong into a breathlessly thrilling adventure to retrieve the Queen’s jewels, restore Her Majesty’s honour, survive the machinations of scheming Cardinal Richelieu, and cross swords with the deadliest of femmes fatales Milady de Winter. Set against a sweeping panorama of 17th century France at war, this production is a whirlwind of excitement, broad comedy and ingenious storytelling.

Romance! Swashbuckling! Intrigue! Murder! Betrayal! Revenge...! Dumas’s classic has got the lot!

Audience members are encouraged to bring along a picnic and their own seating such as blankets or low backed chairs to enjoy this relaxed outdoor performance.

The show will begin at 7pm, and gates will be open to ticketholders from 6pm with entertainment from the lively Ballymena Strummers, so do ensure to arrive early enough to enjoy the music!

Play contains scenes of peril, politics and passion! Suitable for ages 8yrs+, but younger children welcome - if they're brave enough...

Gates open 6pm, show starts 7pm

Running time: 135 minutes (approximately), including a 20-minute interval.

Ticket price: £5.45 (+ 50p booking fee p/ticket)
