These 11 short stage-combat plays about piracy, brigandry, and heartrobbery combine tongue-in-cheek word-play with swashbuckling swordplay in stories revolving around buccaneers, mutineers, damsels, fops, conquistadors, gladiatrixes and rapscallions of all shapes and sizes. This unique collection of playlets can be used to create a full night of entertainment, as well as in the classroom for teaching stage combat techniques. Of special note is that these combat scenes contain roles for both male and female actors.
