ABOUT THE SHOW:
Grab your sword and come be a part of this rollicking, theatrical reimagining
of the 1720's trial of gender outlaws Anne Bonny and Mary Read,
two women pirates who dressed as men. This somewhat-true-to-life adaptation swash-buckles its way through historical drama
and romantic comedy, and explores the ways we struggle, survive and find ways to fight another day.
