THE BRAVER THING
Treasure Island meets Animal Farm in this naval adventure and political allegory that reflects our troubled political times.
It is 1721, and the Golden Age of Piracy is over, but Blackbeard's shipmate, Jimmy Kavanagh is putting together a stout Company of Gentlemen of Fortune for one last Adventuring Cruise that shall set them all up for good. The Cruise begins well, as the Company sacks Cape Coast Castle, but after Kavanagh's untimely death his supporters struggle to find a replacement. As further victories transform their Cruise from hunter to the hunted, the Company descends into mutinies, executions, and show trials, as they flee from their pursuers and struggle against the elements.
