Dead Men Tell No Tales

By Richie Smartt

Compelling play about a dynasty of the human race, are we all psychopaths or just figures of our intellect.

Selina Sra

Opening set I was hooked deeply interesting and extraordinary moving depiction of survival of mankind with twists of madness, pain, manipulation and despair .

Asian Times Rupert Singh


A disturbing play if deep broad mediation on violence from atrocity to forgiveness, the paradoxes of representation and tears of war, sincere and otherwise with a twist.
This is a rare achievement . There are many play writes where the writer speaks of war and the dark evil, and none that are written with such literacy self -consciousness.

Leo Mackintosh


Dead Men Tell No Tales, well outside the boundaries of established academic discourse, and the firm of the play is extraordinary in many ways. Richie Smartt not only probes the depths of the human capacity of atrocity, but also explores in an altogether original and hearty unrepeatable way the human capacity for sympathy or empathy with those whose acts have placed them beyond the pale of civilised society.

SELINA SRA

Compelling play about a dynasty of the human race, are we all psychopaths or just figures of our intellect.

In a breathtaking race against time, on an island so beautiful, but riddled with the darkness of tangled evil, pain and despair. Of capture claiming land and that of the parliamentary rewards donated as medals and Riches to the brave one Bynmor the privateer.

Unstoppable torture of terrifying thirst for power relentlessly counts down to oblivion.

A frightening and powerful play of the loss of freedom and identity of Higgins, Conroy, Delwyn, Cedrych and Bynmor all privateers in a chilling battle never to be won.

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES

Stands as one of the highest achievements of the theatre medium and a defining work for the creator Richie Smartt.

After writing my two books, I planned my path to sit the MENSA TEST and came in the top 1% INTELLIGENCE with 155 as my mark.

I’ve always loved math and enjoyed problem solving. I went on to write my math theorem

REVISION ON INFINITESIMAL NEIGHBOURHOODS (linear Dimensions- time travel)in conjunction with Einstein’s findings .

I see math as an infinitive calculation, and some may find this difficult to understand just like I find some people difficult to understand, because of my Asperges.

After I had finished my theorem and submitted it to Oxford University to professor Arzhang Ardavan, It was a cold winters night and I couldn’t sleep. I often found it difficult to sleep due to my Asperges, so that night was spent on the computer researching an idea I had 4years ago. I came across a specific pirate in general called Black Bart, a Welsh pirate.

He was a very legendary character, this helped me construct the makings of Brynmor and the play began to take form and the story line and ideas grew. I was researching the war of the Spanish Succession.

A large part of the play had actually been inspired by real life events such as those of pirates and, how they treated the black female slaves, exposing rape, torture and vulgar summoning by the name nigger in the 17th century and onwards.

This interested me regards to the physiology of the behaviour of humans that of the Warriors ,settlers and nomads, and manipulation, jealousy, greed, evil, hatred and the thirst for power.

Having suffered. Asperges forced me to learn people to survive day by day with social anxiety as they puzzled me. So I saw the world of humans and put them on the island and made a play to create a puzzle for the world.
