Captain Wagtail drops anchor in Ballydehob! ��
Set sail for a wild, witty and wonderfully offbeat adventure this July with a team of four fabulous women, who will rock your world in the best way possible, as part of the West Cork Fit-Up Theatre Festival! The legendary pirate Anne Bonny has washed ashore in 2025, and let’s just say… she’s not impressed by smartphones, small talk, or soy lattes.
� 29th & 30th July
� Theatre Tent, Ballydehob
� Recommended ages 16+
� Bring your best pirate laugh and your sharpest wit!
Join Captain Wagtail as this time-travelling tale unleashes chaos, comedy and conversations across the centuries, between a rum-loving rebel of the high seas and a very modern academic who would really prefer to keep things civil. Spoiler: she fails.
� Expect salty humour, stormy debates, feminist fire, and a whole lot of heart. With Éidín Griffin playing the academic (also our brilliant writer) and Katy Mullins as our unforgettable pirate queen, and direction by the ever-imaginative Yvonne Coughlan, this show is a riotous ride not to be missed.
� After standing ovations at the 2023 Kinsale Arts Weekend, and rave reviews of its voyage to the Whale Theatre, Greystones, and the Aran Islands, Captain Wagtail is ready to cause a stir in West Cork!
Grab yer tickets, hold on to your pirate hats, and prepare for a theatrical journey that’s as bold as brass, and as brash as a cannon blast on the open sea.
� [Check out our rehearsal snaps and tour photos — the rum may be imaginary (sometimes), but the fun is very real!]
