Bonny & Read

Caribbean 1720. Two extraordinary women are on the run - from their pasts from the British Navy and from the destiny that fate has written for them. Plantation owner's daughter runaway wife pirate - Anne Bonny has forged her own story in a man's world. But when she is involved in the capture of a British merchant ship she is amazed to find another woman amongst the crew with a history as unconventional as her own. Dressed as a boy from childhood Mary Read has been a soldier a sailor a widow - but never a woman in charge of her own destiny. As their exhilarating tumultuous exploits find fame the ballad of Bonny and Read is sung from shore to shore - but when you swim against the tide of history freedom is a dangerous thing . . .
