Mary Read and Anne Bonny were two of the most notorious pirates ever to ply the waters of the Caribbean 

during the early Eighteenth Century’s ‘golden age’ of piracy.

Commanding hundreds of men and hijacking dozens of merchant ships it took the dedicated Government agent 

Jonathan Barnet, sent out specially from England at the request of the Governor of Jamaica, 

to call a halt to their high-seas adventures.

Breathe Out Theatre’s stage production ‘That Golden Age’ tells how Mary Read, an English publican’s wife,

and Anne Bonny, the daughter of an Irish lawyer, became two of the most infamous women in maritime history,

how they took men on at the dangerous game of piracy, and how they ultimately paid the price 

for bettering men in a world men had largely invented.
