Framed as the 1720s trial of Anne Bonny and Mary Read, Anne Bonney & Mary Read: Spinsters and Enemies of All Nations is a theatrical reimagining of the somewhat true story of two women pirates who dressed as men. It begins as a swashbuckling historical drama, becomes a romantic comedy, and ends as a tragedy. A play about outlaws in an unjust time that resonates with current events.
The play, developed through Ground Floor Theatre's Writes program in 2025, is making its world premiere at Ground Floor Theatre.
