POETRY – DRAMA
- Are you interested in investigating the Golden Age of Piracy (1680-1730)?
- Would you like to involve students (and audiences) in the life and times of a famous pirate?
Delve into the life of British-born sailor Samuel Bellamy after he arrived on Cape Cod, and his brief but successful stint as a pirate captain between 1715-1717.
The best resources are ones that can be used in a variety of ways and across a wide age range. This poem is one of them! It’s absolutely fabulous when acted out on stage.

REVIEWS
✎“This poem describes historical events, and thus real people. It is a delightful poem, a fascinating story, and all the work to perform it is available, including music. Using these materials would be a great way for students to learn about the Golden Age of Piracy. It is also just a fun read. I highly recommend this book.” L. Gilley, university professor
✎“I saw Rebecca Locklear on stage working with students. I was impressed by the staging and seamless movement combined with background music and student sound effects. … Captivating. Well-written. Memorable.” Amazon customer
