The Greatest Pirate Adventure Of Them All!

The Colonial Radio Theatre on the Air is proud to present Rafael Sabatini's adventure classic, "Captain Blood," fully dramatized for the first time.

When the Spanish attack the port city of Bridgetown, he and his fellow slaves capture the Spanish ship and set out to sea, where he becomes the notorious Pirate, Captain Blood. Battles on Sea and on Land, daring escapes, sword duels to the death, a touch of romance, and a magnificent score by Jeffrey Gage, “Captain Blood” is a swashbuckling adventure on a very grand scale!

This is to date the finest in a long body of work for Jerry Robbins and The Colonial Theatre On The Air. Every nuance and exciting scene from Rafael Sabatini's exciting book. What makes this so much better than a movie is, is that YOU get to imagine what all these great literary characters look like as Jerry Robbins and The Colonial Radio Theatre on the Air aurally bring them to life. This is what fine radio/audio drama is all about. You can't even quibble about the price either!!! This is a steal for such a quality work! Take a small chance and download the first episode. I guarantee the chances of not wanting to hear the rest are slim to none! Bravo Jerry Robbins and The Colonial Radio Theatre on the Air! Long may their show live!
