William & Mary Theatre Presents “The Scarlet Pimpernel”

W&M Theatre Presents The Scarlet Pimpernel, a swashbuckling musical with music by Frank Wildhorn and book & lyrics by Nan Knighton, based on Baroness Orczy’s classic adventure novel.

The Scarlet Pimpernel follows the daring exploits of Sir Percy Blakeney, an English aristocrat who, by day, plays the part of a fashionable fop, but by night leads a band of men to rescue innocents from the guillotine during the French Revolution. As he navigates a double life, Percy must also grapple with his strained marriage to Marguerite and evade the relentless pursuit of Chauvelin, a cunning French agent. The story is a blend of romance, intrigue, comedy, and high adventure set to a soaring musical score.

Performances: November 20-22 at 7:30 pm, and November 23 at 2:00 pm in the Glenn Close Theatre, PBK Memorial Hall (601 Jamestown Rd)
