Meet Cardinal Richelieu | Brian MetCalf
- Next up is one actor whose maniacal laugh is just as loud as Milady De’Winter. He’s clever, he’s devious, he’s Cardinal Richelieu! This is Brian MetCalf’s first production with Encore and he’s happy to introduce himself.
Hello my name is Brian Metcalf, I am 17 and in 11th grade, I am home-schooled. I previously lived in Texas where I performed in several productions, albeit as dead bodies but never the less performed. This my first show with Encore. When I heard them announce that I would portray Cardinal Richelieu a feeling of great relief washed over me, for you see that was exactly the role I wanted.
Enough said! For those who missed the show, here’s the summary of Encore’s debut of its original script:
In 17th-century France, a poor young nobleman named d’Artagnan leaves home to join the famous Musketeers of the Guard–defenders of the King and masters of the rapier! On his journey, D’Artagnan befriends three famous Musketeers: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. As the foursome roams the countryside, they encounter a dastardly plot to kidnap the King’s favorite dog…and realize they’ll need the help of three swashbuckling ladies to save the day. This new Encore twist on the classic Alexandre Dumas adventure is recommended for children ages 6 and older.
