About the Show
The play has a cast of 2m 2f and is a riotous adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel. It is a funny high energy play suitable for audiences of all ages Swashbuckling and rollicking adventure guaranteed - convincing French accents, not so much.
This is a very physical piece of theatre - much jumping off levels and charging about - riding bicycles (they represent horses) The age range for the four characters is between 21 and 40.
We have taken into consideration the current Covid 19 restrictions and feel that a small cast is probably best. Hopefully, the restrictions will ease and we will be able to have more people involved after June - we will need support for all technical work, front house and costumes so plenty for everyone to do.
Co-Directors David Clayton and Jane Munt
Please let me know if you are going to read so that I can manage the scripts and seating arrangements.

NODA Corperate Partnership with Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama (RWCMD
MAKE IT REAL. Do you want a career on the stage? Then why not come and join us at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama (RWCMD). Study on the BA Musical Theatre Degree. A new, specialist, three-year undergraduate degree, starting in September 2021.
The College’s Musical Theatre training has attracted attention and support from some of the biggest names in the industry. It places students at the heart of the College’s creatively diverse community, working in close collaboration with music, scenic construction, design and stage management students.
In the final stages of training, all students take part in rehearsals and public performances of fully-staged musical theatre productions, working under professional conditions. And students perform in Showcase events in Cardiff and London for an invited audience of industry professionals including agents and casting directors.
Students work regularly with visiting directors and other professionals who are active within the musical theatre industry. This provides opportunities to build vital networks, understand the latest developments within the industry and identify employment openings. With regular cabaret performances throughout the year, opportunities may also arise to take part in special cabaret performances; previous cohorts performed at the College to special guests such as Shirley Bassey; at the Rockefeller Centre in New York, in honour of Catherine Zeta-Jones, and at Buckingham Palace to HRH The Prince of Wales.

Charity of the Year 2019
We are proud to share that we raised £500 for our charity of the Year:
Young People and Children First
Their mission is 'preventing disadvantaged children and young people being homeless. Providing them with life's building blocks and resources, enabling them to become happy, confident and successful adults'
Patsy and John, founders of Young People and Children First, said: 'This is a fantastic amount of money for our small charity that does Big things for Local young people. We not only change lives but in some cases we save lives as well, as we do sometimes take a young person who is sleeping rough. But we got much, much more than £500 from being seen at your events. '
From talking to the cast and audience members and handing out flyers at our shows, they also received additional money from anonymous donors and a trust, offers of volunteers, further support from a local business who donated money and household items for their charity houses as well as offers of sessional work for their young people.
Thank you to everyone who donated and helped spread the word about Young People and Children First. We have been proud to support this fantastic charity throughout the year.
More information about Young People and Children First and ways to support them, can be found on their website: https://www.youngpeopleandchildrenfirst.org.uk/
