Second part of the story of Mary Read - more to come... Thanks all who came out to Bull Feeny's to hear my stories from the life and times of Mary Read. What a fabulous audience you were and special thanks to Lynne Cullen for the venue, invite and hospitality. You mooses is great. X her mark (Mary...)

MUSIC: Mary Black - "Though I Live Not Where I Love"

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. .

Talk about Fish

2009-03-18T09:43:54.064Z

Willey at Geno's Rock Bar in Portland Maine October 2009
Talk about Fish is a tall tale about an unethical fisherman.

“Storytelling is an interactive art form that bridges the gap between entertainment and communication with the performer. From nonverbal and verbal cues to the energy the teller borrows from his/her audience each performance is as unique as the listener that hears the tale and sees it live in their own mind!"

With that said to really appreciate Willey’s theatre in the mind or what he calls a “Mental Vacation” it is best to experience him performing LIVE!
