The Scarlet Pimpernel
Part 4 of 7
Set during the French Revolution, The Scarlet Pimpernel follows the daring efforts of an elusive English rescuer who helps French aristocrats escape the guillotine. In public, Sir Percy Blakeney appears to be a foppish, inattentive gentleman; in secret, he leads a courageous band devoted to outwitting the authorities.
The story blends adventure, disguise, danger, and romantic tension as the Scarlet Pimpernel’s identity and missions draw the attention of those determined to capture him. Its dramatic radio presentation brings the tale to life through dialogue and performance, carrying listeners between the glittering world of English society and the perilous upheaval across the Channel.
Baroness Orczy’s swashbuckling creation offers a lively mix of suspense and wit, with a hero whose apparent foolishness conceals remarkable nerve and ingenuity. This installment is part of a seven-part presentation of the story.
