Ginny plays with ideas of revenge.

Inspired by the character Jenny Diver in Brecht and Weill’s The Threepenny Opera

and by the song “Pirate Jenny” as performed by Nina Simone,

it’s an exploration of one woman’s becoming something she was not born to.

She lives in the first half of the nineteenth century, in the lush wilds of frontier Florida,

in a part of town that’s predominantly African-American.

Circumstances arise that set the populace against her, leading to her exile.

When she returns fifteen years later, she has sustained several lifetimes’ worth of change,

changes she will bring to bear upon the entire unsuspecting populace of Salt Key.
