A little bit about the show:

“How harsh is life on the seas?

Pirates have always been bloodthirsty beasts so what happens when you’re captured onto a pirate ship and forced to join the crew? Bonny and Read is a new Australian musical based on real female pirates of the 1700s. Mary Read is captured aboard a ship with a cut-throat female Captain Anne Bonny, sailing alongside Calico Jack. However Mary must keep her identity hidden, disguised as “Mark” Read she must help them escape a feared Naval Captain hunting them down. This new musical explores themes of love, identity and finding your place in a world where you didn’t think you belonged. Explore and staging historical queer stories as they are often not shared enough.”

Additionally, there is an industry networking night on the 16th of March for all valid ticket-holders, with incredible emerging artists in attendance from theatres such as STC, PACT, and ATYP. You can register for the industry night via the link below:
