The Pirate Project is our new Associate Artist Project which is currently touring around the UK, before heading back for it's London run at Ovalhouse. Created and directed by Improbable Associate Director Lucy Foster.

A devised show about three women, who set out on a quest to discover something about being a women in the 21st Century. The performers will play out the stories of three ancient female pirates - Anne Bonny, Mary Read, and Ching Shih, who sailed the high seas, jumped aboard enemy ships, cut throats for a living and held their own in a male dominated world.

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?

In The Pirate Project three women set sail in search of their inner pirate. Expect sword fights, theatrical storms and cross dressing aplenty.

Ha Harrrr!

Come and see us at Ovalhouse from 15th May - 2nd June
