    In a post-pandemic world (where we realize sometimes the show won’t actually go on), Young gives us relatable characters who go through all the highs and lows that make theatre truly magical. A true gut-punch of a love-letter to our art form that left me with “all the feels” and tears in my eyes. It also happens to be exceedingly producible!

    What an absolute joy of a play! A metatheatrical love letter to the challenges of theatre and the people who rise to meet them. I couldn't stop picturing the play as I read it, and I couldn't stop laughing.

    Duels, intrigue, daring-do, puppets, a truly astounding battle sequence, and so much more! This is everything you could want in an adaptation of the Three Musketeers, with a big meta twist. By cracking open the traditional narrative to make the inner workings themselves part of the spectacle, Young captures something essential to Dumas' novel. Through on the fly edits, conflicts between actors and director, and characters discovering the joy of the story as they tell it, this adaptation is both surprisingly faithful, and a creation that stands entirely on its own.
