The Pirate Queen: Discovering Grace O'Malley

Irish-born Grace O'Malley (a.1530-1603) is one of the most famous pirates of all time. She is the subject of folk songs and sea shanties, a Broadway musical was made in her honor, and a castle in Ireland still bears her name. From the age of fourteen, she forged a career in seafaring and piracy and was considered a fierce leader at sea and a shrewd politician on land. Yet, little is known about Grace's exciting face-to-face confrontation with her nemesis, Elizabeth I of England. In this program, author Robin Maxwell recounts that scene and others from her novel The Wild Irish and explains her process of discovering Grace O'Malley and writing the book. This program additionally features two musical performances by Bob Wright and Jenny Kelly. This program is supported by public funds from Councilman Borelli of District 51 and the New York City Council in partnership with the Department for the Aging.
