Reminder: PYRATES!

TJ was a consultant on the play Pyrates! which will be playing at the Adelaide Fringe Festival.

Set sail in 1700 on a thrilling adventure with John Husk, torn between duty and desire in the perilous seas. Forced to leave England, his journey takes a dangerous turn when pirates attack. Driven by a life-or-death choice, John joins the pirates, guided by the enigmatic Barbary pirate Badas and under the command of a ruthless Captain. The Captain’s wife, Eliza Power, is driven with hidden motives, and when she uncovers John and Henry’s romance, she seizes her chance at freedom by inciting a mutiny. Will Badas and John’s love survive the ultimate test of loyalty, or will they be torn apart by fate’s merciless tides? Follow John, Badas, and Eliza on a heart-stopping journey of love, betrayal, and redemption across pirate ships and Caribbean ports, where every choice is life or death.
