A play in verse about the infamous pyrate Anne Bonny. She was a real person—a Pyrate, a Lover, a Murderer, a Mother—as notoriously brutal as she was beautiful. The very history itself is a drama no playwright could claim to have written. With a pyrate score by Steven James Schmidt, this epic tells the story of Anne and her adventures with Captain John Rackham and Mary Reade as they sailed the high seas. 

“So come hear a grand Tale of the fearsome and bold;
For a Legend lives only because it is told.”
