    The Three Musketeers and the Famous Female Duelist of France, is a world premier of an original adaptation of the classic Alexandre Dumas novel by Director Anna Budd.

    Cañada College presents The Three Musketeers and the Famous Female Duelist of France, a world premier of an original adaptation of the classic Alexandre Dumas novel by Anna Budd.

    Playwright Anna Budd introduces an authentic historical figure into the classic story: La Maupin, a 17th century French swordswoman, adventuress and opera star, who was said to have been "born with masculine inclinations.” She sang, dueled, and intrigued in the streets of Paris very close to the same period in which the Three Musketeers - Athos, Porthos, and Aramis - first encountered D’Artagnan, the young adventurer freshly arrived to Paris, eager to prove himself worthy to become a Musketeer.

    Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D’Artagnan and La Maupin struggle to protect the Queen Anne’s secret – her love affair with the Duke of Buckingham – as the manipulative and sinister Cardinal Richelieu employs the Milady Du Winter in his efforts to expose the Queen and weaken the young and inexperienced King Louis XIII. Much dueling, intrigue, drunken brawls, and love affairs ensue in this gender-bending swashbuckling adventure!

    Anna Budd directed Cañada College’s fall production Twilight Los Angeles, 1992 by Anna Deavere Smith. She joined the faculty this fall after working last year at the College of the Siskiyous in Shasta.
