    Honestly? This play kicks ass. It's an action-packed historical fantasy thriller, with all the high-seas spookiness that one could ask for. Not only does it present an interesting and fantastical take on that period of history but it proves above all to be fun and funny at the same time. I, for one, would love to see or act in a production of this play one day.

    I'm a sucker for a good horror play, great historical dramas, humor, pathos, and epic stories being told in a funny but still spine-tingling manner and this play delivers on all counts. Perfect for Halloween programming or for any company that wants to, as H.L. Mencken once said, spit on their hands and raise the proverbial black flag. It'd be an enormously fun show in which to perform, to direct, and to see.
