Wappin' Wharf: A Frightful Comedy of Pirates

Charles S. Brooks

Wappin' Wharf: A Frightful Comedy of Pirates is a play by Charles S. Brooks that humorously explores the lives of retired pirates living in luxury onshore. Written in the early 20th century, the play subverts traditional pirate tropes by depicting characters who have grown old and stiff, yet still engage in villainy. The prologue offers insights into the play's creation and title, while the narrative unfolds in a comedic manner, showcasing the pirates' antics away from the high seas.
