The pirate craze isn’t just a modern phenomenon, it dates back to Shakespearean times, according to two witty narrators in this snappy comedy. As the story goes, the star of a popular pirate play — The Fearsome Pirate Frank — is the teenage heartthrob of every girl in Shakespearean England, even though he can’t remember his lines for the life of him! However, when the actor playing Frank and his supporting cast, including prima donna Esmerelda, get kidnapped by real pirates during one of their productions, it’s good-bye stardom, hello servitude on a real pirate ship! The narrators and a stream of hilarious sign-carriers keep the show moving as we see the pirate actors swabbing the decks under the orders of the real pirate Frank, who happens to be a woman. But pirate actors are not the only ones hijacked in this comic romp... so is the plot from a particular popular pirate flick! In a chilling flashback sequence, the tale of how Captain Frank received the ’Blackmark” comes alive as we see her send her crooked captain to walk the plank. Nightmare sailors, zombie pirates and hypnotizing mermaids fill this zany spoof with pop culture — even Spiderman makes an appearance!

The Fearsome Pirate Frank was a showstopper with the set, backdrop we used, costumes and the amazing job the students did learning the pirate lingo and accent. Beth Piel, Arcanum High School, Greenville, OH
The Fearsome Pirate Frank is a fun show for all ages. I directed it with a combined cast of middle school and high school students. Roles were available for all talent/experience levels. Our school produced the play shortly after Halloween, which made acquiring costumes and props fairly easy. The audiences thoroughly enjoyed the show. Kristin Skaggs, Rivermont Collegiate, Bettendorf, IA
Pirates are in. Everyone is having a really good time with this show. There are sword fights and slap stick scenes. It’s a blast. Emily Fox, Canastota High School, Canastota, NY
