An engaging drama of disguise, adventure, and conspiracy set between London and Paris, during the height of the French Revolution in 1792. Combining drama and humour, this is a production of pure escapism and suspense.
In 1792, at the height of the French Revolution, in Paris, aristocrats destined for the Guillotine, begin to be rescued, by a mysterious figure, who always eludes capture. This rescuer can never be found or identified, except by little slips of paper featuring the image of a small English flower, the Scarlet Pimpernel.
Meanwhile, in London, Sir Percy Blakeney; who is widely known to be the leader of London fashion, and a carefree, whimsical fop, marries Marguerite, a beautiful, intelligent French actress and friend of the revolutionary government in France, while Citizen Chauvelin, an agent of the French government, arrives in London, seeking the identity of the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel.
This theatre production combines adventure, and humour, and in a fast-moving, entertaining period drama based on the novel by Baroness Orczy and including wider historical and cultural research of the time.
It features a stunning collection of roles for all actors involved. This play is designed to be suitable for all ages.
Performed as part of a tour (& global streaming) of this theatre production by a professional touring theatre company from Devon, which has previously won national and international awards for their productions.
