With extra dates added until 10th September, you can see a new, open-air adaption of Alexandre Dumas’ ‘The Three Musketeers’, directed by Jonathan Kaufman and performed by Sydenham based theatre company Spontaneous Productions. Earlier in the Summer, we spoke on-air to Roz Parker who plays d’Artagnan, and she told us it promises to be a raucous evening, with thrills and intrigue.
This is the third production to be staged in the garden of The Dolphin pub on Sydenham Road, following on from ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and ‘Sherlock Holmes & the Curse of the Werewolf’ and also marks the last event of the Sydenham Arts Festival for this year.
Tickets can be purchased from the Kirkdale Bookshop or Spontaneous Productions and cost £10, or £8 for concessions. Please note that the show is not suitable for children under 7 years of age.
