The Lady Pirates

Pirates have existed since men first traded at sea and, in the 18th century, two extraordinary women, MARY READ and ANNE BONNY, chose to reject their humdrum lives to seek daring pirating adventures and acquire wealth beyond their wildest dreams. They first meet on the pirate ship Revenge where a close friendship quickly develops. Both prove to be brave and fearsome fighters, accumulating large quantities of gold, silver and jewels. Eventually captured, tried and convicted for piracy, they are sentenced to life imprisonment. Here they are subjected to terrifying ordeals and appalling cruelty. Escape seems impossible until they spot a chance opportunity. Could this be the moment that leads them to freedom - a return to their swashbuckling careers or a time to change direction and finally realize the value from their hidden treasure?
