Making celebration of "Talk Like A Pirate Day" into a 3 day weekend, Boston storyeller Norah Dooley appeared 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. Norah tells Marys story in the first person, brandishing pistol and sword, and sharing pirate lore, secrets and seafaring stories from her sea bag. Some of her favorites are Maury OConnor and the Mermaid (Ireland), Arion and the Dolphins (Greek), Ocean Born Mary (New England legend), Mitsu and the Pirates (Japan). Norah plays pennywhistle and leads songs and sea shanties, including: John Kanaka, The Mermaid, and Run the Riggin Again. .

FROM LYNNE CULLEN:
" I've been meaning to thank you for appearing at Seanachie Nights last week... talking to people right after the show that night, they loved your performance, and they are eager to come back to Seanachie Nights for more!
As long as SN audiences know they can trust me to bring them quality storytelling, they'll return. And just think of all those people who had never been told stories before."
Thanks,
Lynne
