The Scarlet Pimpernel brings Shoreline Productions back to Shanklin Theatre with a full-scale musical adventure set between revolutionary France and Georgian England. Expect disguises, rescues, romance and the sort of sweeping score that suits a proper theatre night rather than a quiet sit-down show.
The production follows Baroness Orczy's story of Sir Percy Blakeney, Marguerite St Just and Citizen Chauvelin, with music by Frank Wildhorn and Nan Knighton. Shanklin Theatre lists well-known numbers including Into The Fire and When I Look At You, while local coverage notes sword combat and a cast led by Bertie Everson, Bryony Bishop and Stuart Adams.
Book this if you want theatre on the Isle of Wight with drama, history and a bit of old-fashioned stage spectacle. This performance is the first evening in the run, so check your ticket time carefully before arranging Shanklin food, parking or the journey home after curtain down.
