Role - First Mate McTeague
Well, as everyone who know me knows, this was the role I was born to play - a gruff, nasty pirate. I had a load of fun with the role. McTeague is a rogue who wants only one thing, and that's to be Captain of his own ship. The question is, would he go so far as to murder his own Captain and take her ship? Since this is a murder mystery, I'll leave it at that.
In addition to playing McTeague, I also provided all the weapons used on stage (swords and guns) and acted as the fight choreographer. What I learned is that my elbows are getting too old for sword fighting.
