Official description
From an official listing.
A rollicking and romantic musical adventure inspired by the lives of notorious pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read. It's 1721, and London is abuzz with news of Bonny and Read, currently languishing in Newgate Prison. It’s the perfect time for debt-ridden journalist Nathaniel Mist to exploit the public appetite and ghost-write a sensational (and hopefully best-selling) history of pirates. But as the balladeers and gossips on the streets of London build myths around the blood-thirsty, perverse lady pirates, Mist is forced to reckon with the real Bonny & Read... Featuring musical sensation Christina Bianco, singer-comedian Sooz Kempner, Hamilton star Karl Queensborough, drag legend Le Gateau Chocolat, and more. BBC Audio Drama Awards - Best Podcast - Nominee 2022. British Podcast Awards - Best Fiction - Nominee 2022.
