Raising the Wreck by Sue Frumin, directed by Runa Augdal & originally produced in 1985 by Gay Sweatshop's women's company.
Journey into the heart of a sunken pirate ship, where four fierce female pirates, Irish, African, Chinese and English, recount their stories with a woman who has fallen into a timeslip from 1980s London, where she is one of the women running a pirate radio station.
‘The actresses were so good…. Not only did they create such compelling characters but they had a great chemistry and a fast banter. The play was sparking with jokes and the ensemble got the timing exactly right for the audience to laugh.’
