Paris, 1792. Revolution grips the city and the secret police march traitors to their deaths. No one is safe. Everyone is a suspect. Paris needs a hero, someone who can deliver it from this terror and restore freedom and justice. Will such a hero emerge?

With comedy and thrills galore you’ll gasp, laugh and be amazed at the elaborate sword fights, the heart wrenching love scenes, and the sensational death-defying French accents.

Inspired by the legend of the Scarlet Pimpernel, this wonderfully inventive and gripping comedy features three fearless and daring actors, playing over 20 roles in a dizzying evening of fast-paced, fun and thrilling action.

Having previously thrilled audiences with hit shows, Is That A Bolt In Your Neck? and Grimm And Grimmer, Gonzo Moose are back with a swashbuckling comedy adventure packed full of hilarious slapstick, verbal wit, and magical illusion.

For an insight into the devising process take a look at this fascinating Questions and Answers (Word Document, 0.1 Mb)with the cast and director.
