WE The PYRATES

Welcome to the Island of Providence in the Bahamas 1718.Pirate Captains of many different nations successfully formed a Republic here off the shores of America-in retaliation against the same powers that America would come to defy: not just England empire colonialism but slavery poverty forced military service forced taxation (privateering) religious persecution etc. Why and how did they manage to come together into a Republic? Why and how did their Republic end? If there is a central message to this play among the many piratical lessons that may be gleaned it is that still We Are All Pirates. And all of these pirates are us.This much-anticipated theatrical entertainment and treasure-trove of golden-age history We The Pyrates is written entirely in verse. Lovers of Homer Virgil Ovid Shakespeare and Rostand must not miss this modern masterwork by Schaar.
