LibriVox recording of Wappin' Wharf: A Frightful Comedy of Pirates by Charles S. Brooks. Read in English by ToddHW; Sonia; Larry Wilson; Son of the Exiles; Leanne Yau; Tomas Peter; Devorah Allen; Linda Olsen Fitak; TJ Burns; alanmapstone We had hoped that our drama's scene might lie on a pirate ship at sea. We had wished for a swaying mast, full-set with canvas—a typhoon to smother our stage in wind. We had hoped to walk a victim off the plank, with the sea roaring in the wings. But our plot deals stubbornly with us. Alas, our pirates grow old and stiff. They have retired, as we say, from active practice and live in easy luxury on shore. Yet we shall see that their villainy still thrives. - Summary from Prologue By the way, Section 0 has a buncha interesting explanations by the author on why and how the play came about and is called what it is - with no spoilers. But if you need to get right into the action, just start with Act 1.
