Coffee With Richelieu
A world stage premiere of a beloved classic novel!
By Norman Allen
Based on The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
August 20-September 22
Passion. Betrayal. Scandal. Duels. Duplicity. Cruel villains, fair damsels and gallant heroes. In a word: Musketeers! Playwright Norman Allen, the celebrated author of the award winning play Nijinsky's Last Dance and other plays premiered at the Signature Theatre, has been working with OTC over the past year to bring this well-loved tale of swordplay and intrigue to life. With wit as sharp as a musketeer's rapier, the great Cardinal Richelieu weaves together, and deconstructs, the legendary tale of the Three Musketeers. Gliding through Dumas' masterpiece, he schemes with the evil Milady, threatens the enchanting Constance and challenges the dashing D'Artagnan to a duel of minds. Crossing the boundaries of history, philosophy and theatrical tradition, Coffee With Richelieu mixes all the romance of Dumas with all the heart-thumping rush of a double shot of espresso!
