What’s on

The Royal Pyrate

Avast! The Waterfront Barge Museum is the scene of a site-specific production of a musical that imagines the love affair between the 18th-century pirate Black Sam Bellamy and Goody Hallett, a headstong Massachussetts lass who would come to be known as the Witch of Wellfleet. The show is by songwriter Jason Landon Marcus and the very aptly named book writer Chas LiBretto, who previously collaborated on 2012's rowdy Cyclops: A Rock Opera (ripped from Euripides's satyr play). Emily Abrams directs a cast that includes Maggie Lickani, Danny Hayward, Korie Lee Blossey and Lauren Molina.
