Anne Bonny and Mary Read
by Ground Floor Theatre

Aug. 12 - Aug. 28, 2027

Framed as the 1720s trial of Anne Bonny and Mary Read, this is a theatrical reimagining of the somewhat true story of two women pirates who dressed as men. It begins as a swashbuckling historical drama, becomes a romantic comedy, and ends as a tragedy. A play about outlaws in an unjust time that resonates with current events.
