The Sea is Our Stage

In tonight's play... On the eve of Willowport's annual Summer Ball, Lady Arianne Reinard, aspiring actress and daughter of the Duke of Willowport, overhears her father and suitor plotting a most terrible act. On this very night, amidst the celebrations of Ser Alistair's long-awaited proposal, the Duke's men plan to tear down the Fens where Lady Arianne's friends reside. A crossroads before her, Lady Arianne chooses to shed her noble skin and steals her father's ship, fleeing Willowport along with the Fenfolk and stepping into the role of Captain Arianne of the Curtain Call!

While pursuing a plan to right her family's wrongs and return she and her trusty companions to their home, the unexpected and untimely arrival of an enigmatic and flirtatious pirate named Theo sets off a sequence of events that forces Arianne to confront hard-to-swallow truths about her own identity. Where does the Lady begin and the Captain end?
