PREVIEW TUESDAY 15 MAY: all tickets £7
Venue: Downstairs
Fanciful stagings of the escapades of Anne Bonny, Mary Read, and Ching Shih - swashbuckling female pirates of the past - combine with intimate stories of personal piracy in the performers’ own lives. See these bloodthirsty damsels out-sail, out-think, and out-fight every man on the high seas.
How did they do it? How does a slip of a girl subdue a ship of salty sea dogs? Could she still do it today? Has her 21st century counterpart got the guts to stick a dagger between her teeth, fire a broadside and make off with the booty?

"They expertly craft a play full of warmth, humour and honesty. The resulting production is a provocative and fun start to Outlaws and well worth the few pieces of eight for admission."

" ... shares the same imaginative quality and love of story that I find to be at the heart of each production at this great South London theatre."
