Four survivors of a storm-sunken pirate ship—the legendary Isabella, Neptune’s bastard daughter; pirates Jenny (a runaway whore) and Sally (an electrified girl); and the Viscountess Marlene (a drag queen)—seize a half-wrecked ship crewed only by Captain Joppa and two sailors, young Jack and ex-slave Horatio. Joppa is determined to get back to the war. Isabella has other plans. Amidst time lurches, shifting loyalties, hearts lost and secrets revealed, the seven souls find themselves without wind or current on a slowly sinking ship, until an unexpected event offers either hope or doom.
ISABELLA — Pirate Queen
JENNY — Woman, Isabella’s right arm
SALLY — Young woman
VISCOUNTESS MARLENE — Drag queen.
HORATIO — Man, Black
CAPTAIN JOPPA — Man, white
JACK — Young man
The middle of the ocean, some other time.
First and briefly, a life boat.
After that and for the rest of the play, the deck of a sailing ship that has been through battle, wreck, and storm.
“Adams’ writing is lyrical and circuitous, with an almost Shakespearean weight to it… [WET] showcases her sly, literary sense of humor.”
— CurtainUp.com
“The play is by turns a funny, poignant, angry, searching, yearning glimpse of a ship of disparate souls in search of their destination and destinies.”
— SanDiego.com
