Description
The Story of Anne Bonny
and Mary Read
Anne Bonny is bored! One day a notorious pirate, Calico Jack, enters her life. She follows him to a life of piracy on the high seas, where she learns the amazing truth about Jack’s Lieutenant, the disguised Mary Read, and together they vow to be the most famous female pirates ever. A fictional story accurately based on the historical facts known about those two female pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Read.
We did “Perfect Pirates” because I wanted a non-curriculum show,
and it was wonderful. I also like “The Dream Catcher”.
