This brand new ballet, performed by the London Children’s Ballet, is based on Baroness Orczy’s famous tale of swashbuckling adventures, romance and glamour. Set during the French Revolution when hundreds of aristocrats fell under the blade of the guillotine, a mysterious hero emerges. Known only as the Scarlet Pimpernel, his identity is kept secret from family, friends and society. English fans and French foes are captivated by his courage and flare as he snatches aristocrats from the jaws of death right under the noses of their French executioners.

The show stars 50 young dancers aged 9-14.
