It has been announced that legendary interior designer, TV personality and Cirencester’s own Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen will make his professional theatre set design debut this year, as he joins the creative team of The Three Musketeers, which runs at the Barn Theatre from 25 November 2024 to 4 January 2025.

Determined to avenge his beloved father and become a Musketeer, D’Artagnan heads to Paris where he meets the dashing Athos, Porthos and Aramis – but also femme fatale Milady, and beautiful Conny – who wastes no time in plunging him into an intrigue to preserve the honour of the Queen, avert a war with England and defeat his father’s arch enemy – evil Cardinal Richelieu…!!

The perfect swash-buckling festive five-star musical adventure for all the family which brings D’Artagnan more than he could possibly have imagined, or even dared to dream…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!

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen said: “I’m struggling to contain my excitement for The Three Musketeers - my head is full to the brim of Main Character Cavalier design. There’ll be more feathers, floppier cuffs, twirlier moustaches and much much more panache than the Cotswolds has seen since I moved here 18 years ago. I’m loving supporting The Barn Theatre, it’s been such a phenomenal success story which we Cirencester residents are so very proud of.”

The Three Musketeers is written by Alan Pollock and directed by Bryan Hodgson, with a score composed by Lee Freeman, lyrics by Mark Anderson, musical direction by Andrew Hopkins, sound design by Joe Dines, and casting by Harry Blumenau Casting.

Further details of creative team and full casting will be announced in due course.
