__**Synopsis/ Blurb/ pointless jargon**..__

Raised in Westphalia in the household of a Baron, Candide (Frank Woodley) has enjoyed a privileged life. He has received a fine education in philosophy from the family tutor, Pangloss (Barry Otto), and has merrily subscribed to his mentor’s theory that ‘all is for the best’. Life has been all-too-easy for our blissfully happy hero. That is until his love for the Baron’s rosy-cheeked daughter, Cunegonde, is detected and, by way of punishment, he is ejected from this Eden. Here begins Candide’s extraordinary and epic journey around the globe. As he trudges across continents in search of his beloved he encounters war, plague, religion, sex and a cast of pitiful unfortunates. The world he experiences is cruel and frequently brutal… Will it chip away at his insatiable optimism? ||  || Remember you can always contact me through this Wikispace if you need me.
