Its BATS debut comes after a successful developmental season featuring physical comedy and fight choreography. James Wenley, director of the Theatre of Love company, described the show as having “superb comic timing”. “It also cleverly deploys and subverts conventions of the pirate genre, with a welcome centring of two queer female pirates,” he said.

The show will run for five nights between June 29 and July 3 at BATS Theatre. It features performances from Nina Hogg and Phoebe Caldeiro and introduces audiences to Ella Wells. Directed by Tom Aitcheson and Troy Etherington, the show features production design by Tabitha Rowell. “Comedy Gold are proud to offer a slick, complex and physically impressive live-action show. The action sequences and suspense help appeal to a gender-diverse audience and cater to an audience that wouldn’t otherwise see a queer, female-centric, romantic comedy,” company spokesperson Abby Lyons said.

She was right to follow her father’s advice, she now recognises.
