If you think you have troubles, consider Mary Read, an Englishwoman circa 1718: Forced to disguise herself as “Martin Read,” a sailor, she’s in love with another sailor – a man who has no idea his best friend is a woman. To make matters worse, they’re both captured by pirates. To make matters worse yet, one of the pirates is a woman – Anne Bonny, Southern belle turned scourge of the Caribbean – who takes a very strong liking to “Martin Read.” If that isn’t bad enough, Anne Bonny’s lover, Captain “Calico Jack” Rackam, is getting jealous. Mary’s life becomes a whirlwind of intrigue, imprisonment, deadly duels and unwanted sexual advances that are inappropriate even by the rather loose standards of 18th-century pirates. And there are other problems: the new Governor of the Bahamas wants to put an end to Anne Bonny’s career, and a vicious enemy from Calico Jack’s past is out for a bloody revenge. The only way out of all these various predicaments is for Mary Read and Anne Bonny to team up – to join swords and put their trust in each other. Based on a true story, THE LEGENDARY ADVENTURES OF THE PIRATE QUEENS combines drama and comedy to tell the tale of two women who in ordinary times would never have met – and yet did meet, and went on to become the most fearsome pair of sea-faring hellions in the West Indies.
