Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
The Miserable Ones, The Wretched, The Poor Ones… Les Misérables
The people of France are desperate, food is scarce riot's are common and blood floods the streets of Paris. The Bastille fortress was stormed and thousands of men, women and children were slaughtered within the walls, claimed as traitors to the revolution.
No one is safe from the revolution, the government has taken on a rein of terror, doing all they can to please the mob and executing those of higher rank whether they are guilty or not. The guillotine is in over drive the executor claiming he is being over worked. Maximilien Robespierre theincorruptibleis the man behind the government's drastic changes, although the tyrant is a more fitting title for this dictator. But Robespierre is aware of an underground movement working against him.
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!!
The League of the Pimpernel.
The Scarlet Pimpernel, one man working to save the aristocratic family's from the guillotine. He and a small league of men rescue the aristocrats from Robespierre’s clutches. Robespierre is desperate to discover the mans true identity. Citizen Chauvelin
Sir Percival Blakeney is struggling to lead a double life, who would believe that the coward Blakeney who is more interested in the new fashion of cravat's would really be the infamous pimpernel. His wife Lady Blakeney [/b]has no idea of her husbands alter ego and is becoming increasingly unhappy with his behaviour. What happened to the passionate man she had married? She moved from her hometown Paris to the safety of England escaping her past lover Chauvelin.
Jean Valjean has moved to a small street near the centre of Paris, along with his ward Corsette. He is terrified that Javert his long-term rival will discover him and send him back to the prisons. Javert has spent his entire life hunting Jean Valjean and takes pleasure in knowing the law will be up held when this criminal in convicted.
Gentle Corsette does not know her mysterious background or the secrets her father keeps, all she knows is she is very much in love with Marius a young man whom she saw out walking with her father once. She does not however know she has a rival in the name of Eponine who is desperately in love with Marius, but knows he will never look at her the way he looks at Corsette.
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!
The Mob are plotting to over throw the government if they don’t see an execution of a royalist family soon.
But were will you stand in all of this? Will you join the mob and fight for the people of Frances rights? Will you work to gain control in the government? Are you apart of the pimpernels league rescuing aristocrats from France and ferrying them over to the safety of England or will you simply try to survive on the streets of Paris as a citizen of France.
WILL YOU JOIN IN OUR CRUSADE?
