The word “classic” is often used to describe timeless works of art and literature. That term has never been as appropriate as it is in reference to “The Three Musketeers.” The novel, written in 1844 by French author Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870), continues to excite audiences right into the 21st century.
It was made into films five times—in 1992, 1989, 1986, 1973, and 1948—adapted into TV shows, and made into cartoons. Today, “The Three Musketeers” is now in a wonderful production at The Edge Off-Broadway Theater in Chicago. The play has been produced by the Idle Muse Theatre Company, which is celebrating its 20th year of operation.
