For the past year, I’ve been in development of a new play based on the book “A Pirate of Exquisite Mind” by Diana and Michael Preston which is centered around the true story of the most influential pirate you’ve never heard of. The result is a one-man play as the man himself, and his quest to implore you to want to lust for discovery despite any and everything that come what may. It’s a labor of love to encapsulate this thrilling narrative and the goal is to bring it as many traditional, or better yet, non-traditional venues as possible. Here’s the pitch that has brought us to The Den Theater, Filament Theater, The Grafton Pub, and very soon, FRINGEPVD:
When someone tells you who they are, believe it. Especially if they pour you a drink and challenge you to prove them wrong.
"BY MY ACCOUNT," is the genuinely-truer-than-you-think story of the most influential, best selling, globe-trotting, pirate of the Golden Age of Sail you've never heard of... and high time he set the record straight!
Come sip a bit of booze, hear some astonishing tales, and appreciate some appropriately 'salty' language from the man himself: William Dampier.
