'My name is D'Artagnan, musketeer to King Louis the Thirteenth,
defender of the Queen's diamonds, and the man you tried to poison
in that bar.' When the young and naive D'Artagnan sets out on his
quest to become a King's musketeer, he immediately encounters the
dangerous femme fatale, Milady de Winter. After discovering that
the musketeers have been disbanded, he makes it his mission to get
them reinstated. But will his feud with Milady thwart him? And who
the heck is she? This riotous adaptation of Alexandre Dumas'
classic novel by John Nicholson (Hound of the Baskervilles,
Peepolykus) was originally performed by physical-comedy theatre
company Le Navet Bete on a UK tour in 2019, with four actors
playing over thirty characters. It was co-produced by Le Navet Bete
and Exeter Northcott Theatre. The Three Musketeers will suit any
theatre company or drama group looking for a funny, high-energy
adaptation of a universally loved story, which is suitable for
audiences of all ages. Swashbuckling and rollicking adventure
guaranteed - convincing French accents, not so much.

Fourteen-year-old Jim Hawkins is serving ale in The Admiral Benbow
Inn - when suddenly the door slams open and in strides Billy Bones,
the infamous pirate, to change Jim's life forever... Soon, Jim
finds himself on board The Jolly Todger and setting sail on the
high seas. Alongside him, the crew includes Captain Birdseye, Black
Dog, Blue Peter, the one-legged Long John Silver, and a parrot
called Alexa - and their destination: a mysterious tropical
paradise in the Caribbean named Treasure Island. Or Skeleton
Island. Depends who you ask. This riotously chaotic adaptation of
Robert Louis Stevenson's beloved Treasure Island is a collaboration
between John Nicholson (The Hound of the Baskervilles) and the
physical-comedy theatre company Le Navet Bete, with their four
actors playing dozens of characters. Following the company's
hilarious, hit adaptations of Dracula: The Bloody Truth and The
Three Musketeers, it premiered at the Plymouth Athenaeum in 2019,
and in a Black Spot-defying production at the Exeter Northcott
Theatre in 2020, before touring nationally. If you're looking for a
rip-roaring, swashbuckling, family-friendly retelling of a classic
story to perform with your theatre company or drama group, then X
marks this spot.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most celebrated Sherlock Holmes story gets
a gloriously funny makeover. When Sir Charles Baskerville is found
dead on his estate, with a look of terror still etched on his face,
and the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body, the great
detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned from Baker Street, with Dr
Watson in tow, to unravel the mysteries surrounding his death, and
investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles...
Packed full of the verbal and visual ingenuity that hit comedy team
Peepolykus is known for, and offering abundant opportunities for
silly comedy and slapstick, this version will suit any theatre
company or drama group looking for a sublimely funny adaptation of
a classic tale. This stage version of The Hound of the
Baskervilles, adapted by Steven Canny and John Nicholson, was first
performed by Peepolykus at the West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds, in
2007.
Peepolykus bring their exhilarating combination of verbal
slapstick, visual surprise and anarchic comedy to Gustave
Flaubert's seminal nineteenth-century masterpiece Madame Bovary.
Laugh and cry in equal measure as Emma Bovary chooses the wrong
husband. Lose yourself in mesmeric love scenes featuring a
procession of devastatingly attractive men. Rail at the fate of
women in a patriarchal society, if you will. Prepare yourself for
vermin, moustaches, wild animals, lots of French people and a nun.
Written for a bijou cast of four playing multiple roles, The
Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary was a co-production between
Peepolykus, Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse, the Nuffield in
Southampton, Bristol Old Vic and the Royal & Derngate in
Northampton. It premiered at the Everyman in Liverpool in 2016
before touring to all those other places too. Like their
tremendously popular Hound of the Baskervilles, Peepolykus's Bovary
offers abundant opportunities for comedy and slapstick - plus some
massive tragedy - to any theatre company or drama group looking for
a loving derailment of a classic novel.
