King Arthur

Synopsis:
Synetic's inaugural season in Crystal City will kickoff at the end of September 2010 with a new, wordless epic - King arthur. Drawing from a rich pool of centuries-old myths and legends and starring Ben Cunis (most recently seen as antony in antony and Cleopatra) in the title role, King arthur will weave together mystery, magic, heroes, and romance in a new adaptation that will see the legend reborn in Synetic's signature mixture of movement, music, combat and Drama.

Three Musketeers, The

Synopsis:
All for one and one for all springs onto the stage with Synetics fiery, bombastic ensemble of lovers and fighters as they fence, wine, dance, and fling their wit across the stage in the ultimate cross between physical and romantic comedy. Actors run rampant through the streets of Paris in this exuberant adventure, telling the story of the young DArtagnan whose one desire is to become that noblest of guardsmen: a Musketeer. the villainous Milady, Cardinal Richeliu, and the dark Rochefort cross wits, hearts, and swords with Athos, Porthos and Aramis as we follow DArtagnans quest for love and honor. Dances at the palace meet brawls in the streets and all of it is set to original music in this brand new adaptation.
