The Mad Pirate and the Mermaid

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the Rose Footprint Theatre, along comes a play that’ll have you singing with the fish faster than you can gurgle “Who’s Davy Jones and where’s his locker?” This summer, the Rose stage is chock-a-block with pirates, lovers, villains, square-rigged ships, identical twins, women of ill-repute, utter foolishness, gun battles, heartbreak, sword fights, three men in a boat, musical numbers, swashbuckling, redemption, and a real, live mermaid! It’s all inspired by classical mythology, Renaissance imagination and Shakespeare’s Romance plays.
