The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel by Montford Players

The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel is a fresh spin on the classic tales penned by Baroness Orzy a century ago.

During the French Revolution, a mysterious and egalitarian group risks everything to rescue the unjustly accused from the guillotine, working tirelessly to save the innocent from the machinations of a power-mad, tyrannical government. In their daring rescues, the League always leaves behind a tiny red flower as their signature.

The League’s arch-enemy, Armand Chauvelin, devises a nefarious plan that could put an end to the heroic league. With danger closing in, all members of the League will use their extraordinary talents to save a family from near-certain death. This swashbuckling tale of love, loyalty and bravery promises laughter, intrigue and plenty of adventure.
