The Scarlet Pimpernel. =D and the city of Ettlingen

secret photos that I took of the musical. hehe. I had thought that it was going to be in English, but alas... no... it was in German. haha. But thankfully I had most of the lyrics of the songs memorised down pat in my head. So understanding wasn't a problem. The set was really simple since it's at the courtyard of a Castle. But there was a lot of symbolism used: a red cloth dragged by actors dressed as executioners to signify the blood shed from the guillotine... etc. A lot of the effect turned out really great. 

This scene is when everyone was trying to guess who the Scarlet Pimpernel really is....

This was when they sang the song 'The Riddle'... a song about trust and conspiracy... really interesting.

And... a little bit of Ettlingen. =) .. This is taken from the cafe I had tea at, while waiting for the musical to start. The whole city of Ettlingen is really really quaint. Lots of cafes such as this, pretty tablecloths and all.. All the roads are old roads... Basically - Quaint.

It's so sad to always have to take pictures like that, but I'm getting really good at it. hehe.. Love the bridge in the background. 

This seriously fascinated me...
