Lies! Torture! Betrayal!

Just your typical romantic comedy!



Mercury Summer Stock concludes its season’s offerings at the  
Cleveland Play House with the international hit musical The Scarlet  
Pimpernel. MSS Artistic Director Pierre-Jacques Brault promises a  
unique and exciting rendition of this sweeping romantic adventure.  
The show, playing August 6-21  in the Brooks Theatre, boasts a score  
by Frank Wildhorn with lyrics and book by Nan Knighton, and is based  
on the classic novel of the same name by Baroness Orczy. Set in  
England and France during the Reign of Terror of the French  
Revolution, The Scarlet Pimpernel is a brilliant precursor to the spy  
fiction and the superhero genres, where the hero hides beneath a  
‘foppish’ alias. Filled with a luscious score, heart-pounding action,  
and side-splitting wit, The Scarlet Pimpernel takes the stage by  
storm and is an evening of theatre not-to-be-missed!



Donning the mask of ‘The Pimpernel’ is Cleveland actor Brian  
Marshall, whose area credits include Forbidden Broadway SVU at  
PlayhouseSquare and My Fair Lady at The Cleveland Play House. MSS  
favorites Shane O’Neill and Jennifer Myor as Chauvelin and Marguerite  
create the dangerous love triangle that threatens to tear apart the  
very world The Pimpernel and his men are trying to save. Also  
featured among the cast of sixteen are regional actors Jonathan Ramos  
(Armond), Kate Michalski (Marie) and Jeff Grover (The Prince). Don’t  
miss the limited MSS run of this sweeping epic masterpiece. Ten  
performances only!
