Whether one seeks a nostalgic romance with a feminist twist, swashbuckling clean fun for the family, or a subtle call to fly the pirate flag of righteous rebellion in troubled times, Captain Blood steers a sure and steady course.”
★★★½ –Chicago Tribune
January 25 – February 26, 2017
Unjustly sentenced to slavery on a Caribbean island, the bold Dr. Peter Blood falls in love with the lady of the plantation, the lovely Arabella Bishop. When Blood escapes and takes up the life of a pirate, it appears fate has separated them forever…or has it? Filled with sword fights and pirate battles, love and treachery, and even a song or two, Captain Blood is a pirate adventure perfect for the whole crew!
