Blackbeard: The Musical At the turn of the century, the most popular playwright of pirate melodrama was James Cartwright Cross, who developed his own version of the abducted princess plot in his play on Edward Teach (1680–1718), alias Blackbeard. Cross’s Blackbeard; or, The Captive Princess (Royal Circus, April 1798)20 appropriated elements from Johnson’s The Successful Pyrate, and it influenced in turn many subsequent abduction plots. The captive princess in Johnson’s play was in love with a young man who turned out to be the pirate’s son.

Stabbing left and right, the two manage to kill a dozen before the remainder are fully aware of the surprise attack.
