THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL
​by Louise Page, adapted from Baroness Orczy 

They seek him here, they seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven? Is he in hell?  That demmed elusive Pimpernel!
​​Welcome to the French Revolution and Madame la Guillotine is out for revenge. Margueritte St Juste - formerly an actress and the “cleverest woman in Europe” - is torn between three men, her new husband Sir Percy Blakeney, her brother and the power-hungry, aristocrat-hating Chauvelin.
 The elusive Scarlet Pimpernel swashbuckles his way through Paris, but will he be in time to save the life of another innocent victim?
 This sparkling new adaptation from award winning writer Louise Page (Salonika, Golden Girls, Real Estate) brings to the stage blackmail, heroism, faith and romance.
