Captain Bloody Captain Bloody Captain Bloody is an Australian musical comedy by Grahame Bond and Jim Burnett. It concerns a young gynaecologist, Eric Blood, whose closet fantasy is to be Errol Flynn. He finds out about a club, Heroes Anonymous, where people can live out their fantasies without hurting anyone, run by a man who thinks he is Winston Churchill. "Captain Bloody" opened at the Footbridge Theatre in Sydney on 1 May 1984 and ran to 23 June 1984, produced by the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust and Dunsinane Enterprises. It then played a short season at the Canberra Theatre from 3–7 July
Captain Blood (novel) continuing the series with sequels, Sabatini wrote fifteen more short stories set during Captain Blood's pirate career. Two of the tales in "Captain Blood Returns" ("The War Indemnity" and "Blood Money") may be viewed as continuations of events that took place in the original novel, but all the stories are contained within the timeframe of "Captain Blood". Eight of these new stories were published in 1931 as "Captain Blood Returns" (retitled "The Chronicles of Captain Blood" in the British publication) along with two of the "Tales of the Brethren of the Main" that had not been incorporated into "Captain Blood".
