Pleasance Courtyard
Tit Swingers
★★★★★ Omg they were crewmates
From the team behind Julie: the Musical comes Tit Swingers, a Punk Gig Musical – with added Pirates. To the wild riffing of electric guitar, bass, and drums, Le Gasp! Productions tells the unapologetically queer story of Anne Bonny and Mary Read: pirate queens, hellcats, tit swingers. Oh, and Calico Jack— he’s there too.
