“In 1721, two of the only women ever convicted of piracy—Anne Bonny and Mary Read—were captured and tried. After sentencing, Mary died of a fever in prison. Anne Bonny vanished from history. No execution, no death record: nothing. What is believed about their lives now is almost entirely conjecture, and unprovable if you dig deep enough. HELLCATS is a play about conjecture and unprovability, inspired by fact and woven together by fiction.”
