The Three Musketeers and the Princess of Spain
Written by Chris Hannan
Paris is being terrorised by the evil Cardinal and a monstrous creature who suffers from serious mood-swings! The young sword-fighter D’Artagnan finds himself on an epic quest to save the city – and a pregnant Princess – but he will need the help of the Three Musketeers. Rumour has it they’ve gone to seed, gone past their sell-by date and gone into hiding.
So can he track them down in time to save the day?
Based on the iconic characters created by Alexandre Dumas, this hilarious, anarchic and utterly thrilling new production promises an unforgettable journey into enchanted forests, over lost streams and around REALLY horrible baddies, as we cheer our hero D’Artagnan and heroine Constance to a victorious end.
Featuring a dash of live music and a hefty dose of laughter, The Three Musketeers and the Princess of Spain is a wonderfully surreal re-imagining of these classic stories of friendship, love and identity. Oh…and baby-eating monsters!

Also at the Coventry Belgrade Theatre from 18 november 2010 – 20 november, 7.45pm, Fri & Sat evenings: Tickets: £8.50, £13.50 & £17, The Propeller Theatre Company presents:
Richard lll
Internationally acclaimed all-male company, led by Director Ed Hall, Propeller is renowned for combining a rigorous approach to the text with an exciting, physical aesthetic to engage its audience’s imagination and bring fresh understanding to classic plays. It’s Shakespeare rediscovered.
Richard III brings the War of the Roses cycle of history plays to a close in bloody fashion. Arguably Shakespeare’s most villainous King, we watch in horror and delight as Richard murders his way to the throne, unable to resist his cruel wit and dark humour. This is a hugely entertaining and diabolical adventure that tells the story of one man’s journey to heaven, then back to hell.
