| Breakdown
“THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK”
(16 men, 5 women, 3 children)
LOUIS/PHILIPPE: Twenties. A duel role; the King of France and the Man in the Iron Mask. Louis is vain, mercurial, brilliant but ruthless. Philippe is spiritual, a zen master; wise but naïve. Two sides of the same coin.
ANN OF AUSTRIA: Louis and Philippe‘s mother; a great queen in twilight. Beautiful and haunted. Of undisclosed age.
D’ARTAGNAN: Captain of the King’s Musketeers; fifty now and turning grey but still fit, still full of charisma, still d’Artagnan.)
ARAMIS: the Abbé d’Herblay; an elegant man in his fifties with piercing eyes and an intelligence that is almost a palpable force.)
PORTHOS: the Baron du Vallon; a Colossus of a man in his mid-fifties. Everything about him is larger than life; his loves, his appetites, his great heart.
ATHOS: the Comte de la Fère; a man in his mid to late fifties whose outward formality masks a volatile nature kept in check by an iron will.
RAOUL: the son of Athos. Raised by the four Musketeers, he is an intense young man in his twenties; a product of the past.
LOUISE DE LA VALLIÈRE: A beautiful and passionate young woman in her twenties. A hero. She is the future.
MAIDS OF HONOUR (3): Twenties. Beautiful, shallow and perfectly content with the times.
DE WARDES: a gentleman of the Royal Guard. Thirty, aristocratic and bent on revenge.
BAISEMEAUX: clumsy and nervous as a Musketeer, he comes into his own as Warden of the Bastille. Character part. Middle-aged.
BAZIN: Aramis’ servant and a Novice. Cunning, like his master. Middle-aged.
MOUSTON: Porthos’ servant. Shorter than his master, but of greater circumference. Middle-aged.
GRIMAUD: Athos’ servant for many years. Strong and quiet. Could be older than his master.
RUFFIAN: large and thuggish. Thirties. A comic role, but should be a threat.
INNKEEPER: Supercilious yet condescending. Thirty-something.
YOUNG MONK: An innocent. Twenty.
URCHINS (3): Parisian street kids. Ten years old, if boys; teens, if girls play boys.
DOCTOR: Any age. Not much of a part. Sorry
