THE THREE MUSKETEERS, The Queen's Necklace

A Play in Two Acts, by Gavin Bantock

New Classic Adaptations for the Stage, Vol. 7 "All for One - and One for All!" Alexandre Dumas's thrilling story of how the proud young Gascon - D'Artagnan - becomes one of the King's Royal Musketeers. The three loveable musketeers - Athos, Aramis and Porthos, befriend D'Artagnan, and the four work bravely together as loyal supporters of the King. The ambitious Cardinal Richelieu uses the Queen of France's secret love-affair with the English Duke of Buckingham in an attempt to destroy the French monarchy and gain the crown for himself. The Queen's diamond necklace is used as a symbol of both betrayal and loyalty. A swashbuckling drama of secret plots, spies, romance, adventure and heart-stopping sword-fights, with many comical episodes. Published by FIRST SERVANT BOOKS
