They seek him here,
They seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in Heaven or is he in Hell?
That demmed, elusive Pimpernel?

Millionaire playboy and dandy, Sir Percy Blakeney, requests the pleasure of your company at a ball in honour of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The French Ambassador will be there. Will that daring crime-fighter and master of disguise, the  Scarlet Pimpernel, also make an appearance? Only time will tell.

Late 18th century, Directoire, or Regency costume is admired but not required (The year is 1792 but we won’t hold you to that) and, as usual, modern evening dress is also welcome (Sir Percy has just invented it, after all!).

Bangers & Mash plays an evening of dashing and elegant 18th century French and English country dances and waltzes.  Not familiar with the scandalous new turning Valse? Need to brush up on your country dance technique?  Not know a jeté boureé from a hey for four? Fear not. There will be a pre-ball workshop in 18th century country dance and early Waltz (And never fear: All country dances will be briefly taught and called during the ball).
