    In 1973, Elvis brought us Aloha From Hawaii. If, however, we swap the ‘9’ and the ‘7’ aroundwe find France in the throes of revolution. Only one man can make sense othe chaos, and as Presley is notable by his absence, the job falls to the elusivScarlet Pimpernel. While his next appearance is eagerly awaited by tremblinaristocrats, bored peasants, and makers of commemorative teacups, across thChannel in England a more emotional storm is brewing.
     
    Eyelashes flutter, bosoms heave and corsets seem fit to burst as love piercethe heart of one of England’s most impetuous bachelors. Can he be stupid enougto adopt the guise of his masked hero, and to provoke a series of enormousllavish and rousing showtunes detailing his plight? Why, yes he can.
