The Scarlet Pimpernel

About

France is burning, the guillotine is busy, and Marguerite Blakeney is stuck in England with an idiot husband and a past she’d really rather not discuss.

However when ruthless revolutionary Chauvelin - head of the French Republic's Committee of Public Safety - with a very loose grip on the word “safety” - threatens her brother’s life, Marguerite is dragged into a world of spies, secrets and very sharp blades. Will she betray the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel, or let her brother face the guillotine? What do you do when every choice costs you the person you love?

Three actors tear through revolutions, opera houses, seedy Dover pubs and glittering ballrooms using nothing but a mountain of wigs and sheer nerve. Expect quick-fire gags, high-octane multi-rolling in this sharply modern, joyously theatrical retelling of Baroness Orczy’s swashbuckling classic.
