I hate to tell you this, but the time of the pirate is over. It has been revealed to me that the pirate is none other than a subset of the ninja. Sorry and all that. True fact, though, and it went a little something like this.
I was just at a performance of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead at the Gauda Prime Playhouse, and, as you may or may not know, there is a bit in this play where pirates appear and there is a big fight on a boat.
Or, in this case, the cry goes up:
PIRATES!!!!!!
and eight or ten silent, black-clad assassins swarm silently down ropes and proceed to fight in the Kung-Fu style.
It was a very odd moment, I'm telling you. No-one I was with got how odd it was, of course. |
