The cast and creative team for the Barn Theatre's winter production have been announced.

The Three Musketeers: Trois, written by Alan Pollock, will run at the Cirencester venue from November 25, to January 4, 2025.

The production will feature music arrangements from Lee Freeman and lyrics by Mark Anderson, and will be directed by Bryan Hodgson.

The design of the show comes from Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, with some of the costume designs now released.

Mr Llewelyn-Bowen said: "Some may think I was profiled after a life of swaggering and buckling my swash, but I’m sure the best man for the job.

"The Three Musketeers has been in my psyche ever since I can remember.

"The Barn has only 200 seats, which officially makes The Three Musketeers: Trois tickets more difficult to get hold of than Oasis tickets."

The tale follows D’Artagnan, who, in a quest to avenge his father and join the Musketeers, ventures to Paris.

There, he meets Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, as well as Milady and Conny.

The story soon spirals into a plot to safeguard the Queen's honour, prevent a war with England, and defeat the evil Cardinal Richelieu.

The Barn Theatre promises a "swash-buckling festive five-star musical adventure for all the family".

It added: "Join the Barn this Christmas for some rip-roaring thrills that will have you dancing and singing from here to the French countryside.

"If you liked Treasure Island, then you’re going to love this one."

The cast includes Sam Denia as Richelieu, Georgia Leila Stoller as Aramis, Marc Serratosa as Porthos, George Shuter as D’Artagnan, Ella Rose Thomas as Milady, Hayley Canham as Conny, and AJ Jenks as Athos.

Other creative team members include musical supervisor Andrew Hopkins, lighting design by Paul J Need, sound designer Joe Dines, sound programmer Ben Thomas, and movement director Ella Al-Khalil Coyle.

Tickets for The Three Musketeers: Trois are on sale now, priced at £14 for adults and £10 for under 16s.

Since launching in 2018, the Barn Theatre has gained national recognition having produced more than 20 Built by Barn shows and being awarded The Stage Awards’ Best Fringe Theatre of the Year Award 2019.

Last year, the theatre celebrated its fifth anniversary with a season that included world premieres of Simon Reade's adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's Waiting For Anya and Jonathan Lynn’s final instalment of his series I’m Sorry Prime Minister, I Can’t Quite Remember.
