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.

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!
