A swashbuckling tale of transportation, love, escape, tragedy and redemption

Cornish actor Bec Applebee, well known for her work with internationally acclaimed companies Kneehigh, Wild Works and Dalla, now presents a one-woman, open-air physical theatre show based on the incredible life story of Mary Bryant; Cornish highway woman, convict, mother and maritime adventurer.

This true story is a swashbuckling tale of transportation, love, escape, tragedy and redemption that spanned the world between Cornwall and Australia. Using specially commissioned music this performance uses a mix of physical storytelling and evocative narrative by Anna Maria Murphy, and is an adventure through the senses!

"Bec has managed to produce one of the most astonishing one woman performances I have ever seen" The Cornishman

"(Bec) has always impressed and never disappointed, but she has never done anything better than this. To say that she scores as Mary Bryant is an understatement." Western Morning News

Running time: 70mins no interval

Recommended for ages 11+
