Pansexual Pregnant Piracy at Soho Theatre

Disguised as a man, Anne Bonny stows away on Captain Calico Jack’s pirate ship and becomes his lover. When fellow gender-bending seafarer Mary Read crawls aboard, the ship’s course isn’t the only thing that’s no longer straight. Breaking hearts and gender boundaries, the trailblazers leave behind a stream of looted treasure and treacherous ex-lovers, fleeing the shadow of the Pirate Hunter General who dreams of taking down piracy and pansexuality. When the two are captured, their cover is blown – but will the Pirate Hunter be merciful when he sees that their bellies are brewing more than just rum? Subverting historical narratives, this outlandish comedy with songs tells the ne’er-before-seen queer tale of two forgotten mistresses of the sea who left behind the land and the patriarchy to be pirates at large.
