JENNY is a simple scivvie girl who dreams of escaping the clutches of the men in her life by becoming a Pirate Queen.

The story Pirate Jenny is inspired by the iconic Brecht/Weill song, Pirate Jenny, from the Threepenny Opera (first presented in 1928 in Weimar Berlin), and tells how she seeks revenge by cutting the throats of her tormenters.

Pirate Jenny is about what price a person will have to pay in order to survive in a vicious and cruel world.
