TEACH – Musical Play: Book, Lyrics & Music by John McNeil Johnston
I began work on TEACH in 1998. Arising out of a childhood fascination with pirates, I wrote the book, music and lyrics of this Musical Play based on the life and death of pirate Edward Teach, known widely as Blackbeard. TEACH not only accurately portrays the historical man and his world in accordance with the best available scholarly materials, but examines his motivations and character as well. Central to the work is the debunking of many false perceptions about the legendary villain, and an attempt to humanize and in many cases vindicate him.
