A one man comedy pirate adventure. Captain Springsmile Jack is due to hang in the morning. But he has other things on his mind. Who stole his treasure? Who killed his wife and child? How did his parrot get so massive? Revenge is a dish best served sprinkled with sea salt, blood, and a splash of humour.
