About this event

A perfect summer cocktail of swashbuckling romance.

by Baroness Orczy adpt. Beverley Cross
presented by The Geoffrey Whitworth Theatre

They seek him here, they seek him there…..’ but for an evening of unalloyed entertainment, you need look no further than the Minack Theatre, where our elusive hero will be rescuing French aristocrats from the shadow of Mme La Guillotine, right under the noses of their dastardly captors!

Sir Percy Blakeney appears to be nothing more than a foppish playboy. In reality he is The Scarlet Pimpernel, a formidable swordsman, master of disguise, and quick thinking escape artist – the toast of English society, and the arch-nemesis of revolutionary France.

Featuring music, dancing, swordplay, and a large cast of colourful characters, The Scarlet Pimpernel is the perfect summer cocktail of swashbuckling romance and adventure!

Accessibility

Details

We aim to make our site available to everyone as far as we can, however the steep, rocky geography of the Minack does create some access limitations. If you have concerns or questions about access please contact us and we will help in any way we can. We have ramped access to all the visitor facilities on the site, however the main auditorium and stage are only accessible via long flights of steps. Our car park has accessible parking bays adjacent to the theatre entrance and there is a ramp for wheelchair access to the visitor centre. Within the site there is ramped access to the exhibition centre and café, and there is an accessible toilet. If you’re coming to a performance and would like to use the accessible balcony please call our Box Office on +44 (0)1736 810181. Spaces are limited, so please book as early as possible. A hearing loop is available in the Lower Terraces and on our Accessible Balcony. We can also provide Assistive Hearing Headsets, suitable for users with or without hearing aids, who may need a little extra boost from our sound. Due to space limitations and public safety, wheeled buggies and other infant seating cannot be admitted to the theatre. Please call the box office or email [email protected] for more details.
