About the event
“Well-behaved women rarely make history.”
… and there is no finer example than Anne Bonny. Anne may have existed in a man’s world, but she made it her own and became one of the most fearsome and skilled pirates of the ‘Golden Age’. From an inauspicious start in Ireland to one of the most wanted pirates of her day.
Anne’s story is an incredible tale of friendship, violence and tragedy that has captured imaginations for centuries.
Tortive Theatre presents this new one-actor show, starring the West-End's Victoria Lucie as the Pirate Queen herself, as she tells her own tale of love, sorrow, and adventure on the high seas.
This performance is a preview performance of a forthcoming the UK Tour. The production has been created in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
