Carolina Stories: Pirates of the Carolinas

This TV special written and directed by Bruce Mayer aired on PBS in 2007. It features narration by historians over dramatizations in which Mary Read is played by Barbara Gose, Anne Bonny by Liisa Rose, and Calico Jack by Joe Perry (not “the”).

The events of the story are taken from the General History, with the addition that Mary shows her breasts to her dueling opponent before killing him. She is ultimately buried in Port Royal.
