Review: The Further Adventures of Three Musketeers (Oak Meadow Park)

Today, we saw the play "The Further Adventures of Three Musketeers" by the Los Gatos Shakespeare Company in Oak Meadow Park (on an outdoor stage).

The play is loosely based on Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers series of novels. We enjoyed the performance, and Alex liked all of the swordplay.

Production background from Festival Theatre Ensemble: this original adaptation follows D’Artagnan and the other Musketeers in seventeenth-century Paris.
