Another thing! Not quite literature, but there is no category for plays/theater, so this was the best option.
I'm looking for a particular stage adaptation of "The Three Musketeers" that my elementary/middle school performed sometime around 2003-2005. It was obviously written for children/youth to perform. I definitely played a character called nothing but "The Old Blind Woman," and her recurring line was "Spare a franc for the old blind woman!" She was called on to give some kind of testimony at the end of the play. There was also a character called "Blade" or something along those lines who was supposed to perform a dance with a scarf. One character (D'artagnan's sister?) had a line that read, "He's *my* little brother, so if you want to chop his head off, go ahead!" Also at some point there was a really lame "back of my hand" joke. (Character A: "I know this forest like the back of my hand!" *Turns hand around* "What's that?!" Character B: "The back of your hand!")
These details are pretty specific, but my Google powers have failed me so far in my attempts to track this play down. I would guess that it was distributed by a pretty small-scale publisher and might never have made it to the Internet. Can anyone help me find it?
