The Scarlet Pimpernel : Adapted from Baroness Orczy, Paperback / softback Book

The Scarlet Pimpernel : Adapted from Baroness Orczy Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

First performed in 1903, The Scarlet Pimpernel was the most successful play of its day archetypal Edwardian theatre and the precursor of romantic Hollywood historical epics.

This adaptation brings to modern audiences the tale of the elusive hero who snatches helpless innocents from death and rescues the Comte de Tournai with the enemy hot on his trail.

The Scarlet Pimpernel works in the shadows, his identity unknown even to his immediate followers.

So disinterested is he in claiming credit for his heroism that he affects the persona of the biggest fool in London.

He stands for English stability and against chaos and passionate fanaticism.7 women, 16 men
