WE The PYRATES: Adventures from the Pirate Republic: Based on History Known an Surmised

By A.J. Schaar

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.
