To make your visit to see The Three Musketeers and the Princess of Spain even more fun we’re having a special ‘dressing up’ performance on Saturday 16 October!
We’re encouraging as many people as possible to come along to the matinee or evening peformance dressed as Musketeers, Princesses - or in any kind of 17 Century costume you like.
They’ll be facepainting before each show and we’ll also make it worth your while by choosing one of our favourite costumes and refunding the lucky wearer the price of their ticket!
I will be playing “Olivier”, one of the Cardinals evil henchmen in The Three Musketeers and the Princess of Spain. I am also the company’s fight captain, so when the fight director has set all the fights I have to learn them as best as I can, maintain safety and make sure the actors are comfortable with the fights.
On top of this, I will be writing regular blogs to keep you up to date on our progress right through rehearsals.
We started off with a full company read through and I can’t believe how many people were there. As well as the full cast, director, musical director, physical choreographer, CSM, ASM, DSM, we had members from all the theatres we are visiting.
The rest of the week we got stuck into rehearsing and we had a lot of fun playing with ideas and seeing what feels right. We start each scene with a read through and then we discuss anything we feel we need to do before a few runs of it. Then, notes and ideas from Dominic “our glorious leader” and director, come flying in before we go again.
It’s great, the ideas are flowing but it’s all carefully planned so it makes sense and we’re not just doing things to be funny.
On Saturday we had our first day with Renny, our fight director. We worked through the first friendly fight when we meet the young Constance and D’Artagnan, the second fight when the three dummies, I mean Cardinal’s men, meet D’Artagnan then we started another fight after that. That’s just the beginning of Act One, there are more fights in that act and in act two, so we’re definitely going to have a busy time ahead!
