Norah Dooley ~ storyteller & author

Video

 
 

Making celebration of "Talk Like A Pirate Day" into a 3 day weekend, Boston storyteller Norah Dooley will appear as pirate Mary Read, telling tales about the people she sailed with in the Golden Age of Piracy, and the wonders of the seven seas.

In the early 1700s, Mary Read disguised herself as a sailor to survive in the harsh world, and became a pirate quite by accident when her ship was overtaken by pirates, and she was captured by the crew of Captain "Calico Jack" Rackham.


I tell Mary’s story in the first person, brandishing pistol and sword, and sharing pirate lore, secrets and seafaring stories from her sea bag.  Lynne Cullen will joined in on the concertina.
