The Scarlet Pimpernel

Marguerite Blakeney thought she’d married a fool. Sir Percy is vain, shallow, and more concerned with his wardrobe than his wife. What she doesn’t know is that his ridiculous foppishness is a disguise — because Percy is secretly the Scarlet Pimpernel, England’s most daring hero, rescuing aristocrats from the guillotine. And worse still, Marguerite has unknowingly betrayed him to his greatest enemy, the ruthless Chauvelin, the Republic’s finest bloodhound.

In this fast, funny three-actor retelling, romance and revolution collide in a whirlwind of disguises, daring rescues, marital misunderstandings, and gloriously silly comedy. Will Marguerite save her brother without destroying her marriage? Can Percy outwit Chauvelin and keep his secret safe? And how much of the budget has been spent on a ridiculous amount of wigs?
