THEATRE
The Pirate Laureate and the King of the Sea
February 2015
We return to the world of Ephrata and the crew of the Chartreuse in this sequel to the 2013 hit THE PIRATE LAUREATE OF PORT TOWN. Ray Del Mar, The King of the Sea – a villain with both the violent tendencies of the Old Ways and Literary Might of the New, wreaks havoc upon our heroic pirates, dividing the crew both physically and in spirit as he furthers his quest to become King of All That Exists. The crew will have to come together despite the odds, and each other, to stop this dashing but diabolical dictator of the deep, as well as the ghosts of Captain Grayscale’s past – his long dead family, his arch-rival the Fancy Pirate Lereif, and the dreaded Isle of Whaste!
