A raucous new musical is touring – with a very bi theme. Tit Swingers has just completed a run in Salford with next stops London (25th & 26th July) and then a four-week run at the Edinburgh Fringe starting on July 31st.
Our Manchester review squad say it’s both fun and very historically accurate… in as much as anything can be from an era where very little was written down.
Writer-performers Abey Bradbury & Sam Kearney-Edwardes say:
“Anne Bonney and Mary Read – polyamorous queer pirates that got the title of Hellcats of the Seven Seas for their various vicious and notorious crimes…but you probably know them best as them female pirates that fought with their tits out…
“Well now they’re tired of living in the shadow of Blackbeard and Captain Kidd and Calico Jack – the Tit Swingers are here to write their own sea shanties, become the immortal legends they know they deserve to be and do some HOT GIRL PIRATE SHIT!
“Oh, and bring some earplugs…it’s gonna be loud…”
