The Crick Crack Club presents: Fairytales for Grown-ups - monthly live performance storytelling at The Story Museum.

Dauntless - Grace O'Malley, Pirate Queen by Debs Newbold

Debs Newbold gleefully delivers the boisterous, remarkable and inspirational story of her hero: Grainne ni Mhaille – Grace O'Malley – legendary Irish clan chief and queen of the sea.

Stowing away aboard her father's ship aged eight, Grace became a 16th-century force of nature. A multilingual, seafaring weapons expert, leader of 2,000 men, rebel, politician, kingmaker and slayer, prodigious lover, avenging hero and notorious pirate. Best of all, she was real.

From the west of Ireland to the court of Elizabeth I, from wild youth to even wilder old age, Dauntless is an epic celebration of uproarious storytelling, high drama and one fascinating 16th-century feminist. No knights in shining armour need apply.
