About this show
Two female pirates are condemned to hang for sailing with Calico Jack and terrorising the high seas. Anne Bonny and Mary Read are saved from execution at the last moment, but how? In an age of brutality and adventure, these two outcasts chose to fight alongside and against men. Their pirate careers were short, but their legacy endures. Acting Coach Scotland presents an original theatre show combining physical theatre, music and storytelling to explore the true story of these extraordinary women. Devised by acting graduates, written and directed by Jake Norton in a bold new production.

The talented cast pull together, using shanty singing and slick scene changes to keep the momentum of the pirates’ stories going when uninterrupted, while the energetic delivery makes for an entertaining hour of theatre.
