The Popinjay Cavalier
Description
Quentin Tarantino makes his stage-writing and directing debut with a new swashbuckling comedy starring Sacha Baron Cohen. Set in 1830s Europe, it follows celebrated actor Rupert Sebastian Thomas Jr. as an ill-judged remark turns his journey to perform at Paris's Comédie-Française into a dangerous adventure. Inspired by the romance and bravado of classic Hollywood swashbucklers, the production combines Tarantino's verbal mischief with deception, disguise, swordplay, acrobatics and theatrical spectacle.
