Wyeth’s drawings for the book Treasure Island as inspiration, Moloney said, “I wanted to avoid the standard staging for Pirates, but at the same time remain true to the play and its style. Most productions of Pirates have only the barest mention of a pirate ship, usually painted on a backdrop off in the distance. In this production we wanted to highlight Frederic’s complete immersion in pirate life and his sudden removal from it, so we begin with a pirate ship onstage, which is transformed into a rocky beach...
