A Love Letter to Theater
"This play is a love letter to storefront theater. It also ridicules it a bit, although affectionately. Anyone who has ever been in a rehearsal where an actor is missing, personalities are clashing, people don't know their lines, and some in the company are terrified of putting on a truly awful show, will recognize a lot of these moments. And anyone who has ever worked with a scrappy little company and worked past all of those things with a spirit of ensemble, play, and the show must go on, will recognize this world. "

Everything you could want in an adaptation of the Three Musketeers!
Duels, intrigue, daring-do, puppets, a truly astounding battle sequence, and so much more! This is everything you could want in an adaptation of the Three Musketeers, with a big meta twist. By cracking open the traditional narrative to make the inner workings themselves part of the spectacle, Young captures something essential to Dumas' novel. Through on the fly edits, conflicts between actors and director, and characters discovering the joy of the story as they tell it, this adaptation is both surprisingly faithful, and a creation that stands entirely on its own.
