This work humorously explores the lives of aging pirates who have retired to a quaint cabin on the Devon cliffs, filled with nostalgia and remnants of their swashbuckling past. The main characters include a brooding Patch-Eye and the cunning Duke, who reminisce about their notorious exploits while navigating the challenges of their current existence. At the start of the play, the audience is introduced to the setting: a storm-blown cabin overlooking the sea where two pirates, Patch-Eye and the Duke, drink and lament their lost days of piracy. They discuss their former captain, Flint, whose ghostly presence lingers with superstitions and tales of their outlaw past. As they engage in banter about their lives and dreams, elements of comedic tension build through the introduction of Red Joe, a newcomer among them, and the possibility of a grand heist with the approaching merchant ship. The prologue effectively sets the stage for a blend of humor and adventure, promising the audience an entertaining exploration of piracy and camaraderie.
