The Scarlet Pimpernel is a historical adventure radio drama series based on the novel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy. Set in England and France in 1792 during the French Revolution, the story follows Sir Percy Blakeney, an English aristocrat who secretly works within the French circles of power to save the falsely accused from execution. He adopts a foppish, effete persona to maintain his cover and his true identity is only known to his followers, the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel. The show is known for its fine cast, rousing orchestral scoring, excellent sound effects, and a tightly written script that stays very close to the dialogue of the original novel.

Produced in London, the radio drama first appeared as the summer replacement for The Cavalcade of America in 1952-53. Marius Goring, an actor best known for his role as composer Julian Craster in the movie classic "The Red Shoes," played the role of the Pimpernel. Produced by Harry A. Towers, the series is sure to delight fans of the Scarlet Pimpernel movies, history lovers, and audiobook listeners who want a more dramatic and engaging storytelling experience.

Performers: Marius Goring
