The set for The Three Musketeers and the Princess of Spain is currently being built at the Belgrade’s production workshops, so we took a trip over to see how its all going.

The team have juist finished creating the floorboards for the stage and have started work on making the wall panels which need to look really grimy! These pictures show how they look in the early stages of development and what they will look like when they are completed.  

Here’s a sneak peek at the wonderfully surreal world of the Three Musketeers and the Princess of Spain! 

The set was designed by Colin Richmond and these pictures above are of the model box, which is a scale model that is used to show how the design will look in three dimensions.

The action takes place in the crumbling underworld of 17th century Paris, which is inhabited by a range of gruesome monsters, so the set is suitably dark but with lots of humorous and modern touches! Here you even get to meet one of the most garish characters in the whole play!

This is the artwork that was created by the illustrator Kev Harper to represent each of the main characters in The Three Musketeers and the Princess of Spain.

Aramis looks like an ageing rocker, while Porthos and Athos look like they have really let themselves go! The Cardinal has a really sinister look about him, especially next to the radiant Princess of Spain.
