Airlock Theatre discuss new show Pansexual Pregnant Piracy

If your show is called Pansexual Pregnant Piracy, it probably goes without saying that things are going to get a little silly. And that’s just what we got when we sat down with Eleanor Colville, Ro Suppa, Robbie Taylor Hunt, the trio who make up Airlock Theatre.

Pansexual Pregnant Piracy is the story of eighteenth-century pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read, although it’s probably not giving too much away to say that they have taken some artistic licence with the story and it may not all be entirely based on truth. But as they tell us, they want to tell queer stories that are also a whole lot of fun.

The show plays at Soho Theatre until 13 April. Bookings here.

Pansexual Pregnant Piracy

Soho Theatre

26 March – 13 April

A raucous queer comedy with songs, experience the swashbuckling true story of eighteenth-century pirate Anne Bonny.

Disguised as a man, Anne soars across oceans searching for booty (treasure) and booty (ass) alongside fellow pirate/partner/captain Calico Jack.

But when hot wet babe Mary Read crawls aboard, the ship’s course isn’t the only thing that’s no longer straight. Can they flee the shadow of the Pirate Hunter General who dreams of taking down piracy and pansexuality? And what does it mean for their queer seafaring when their bellies brew more than just rum?!

Outlandish comedy collides with a ne’er-before-seen queer tale in Pansexual Pregnant Piracy, the follow-up to Airlock’s Offie-nominated Lesbian Space Crime.
