The ultimate biography on
Granuaile:
Ms. Chambers' and Ms. Lyons' grandfathers were bosom friends. Because the Irish chroniclers of her day only recorded the lives of men, most of the historical records about Granuaile come from the English court. The concept for this production, then, is the “book” of her story come to life, from the point of view of Granuaile’s memory flashing back through time. "With passion, energy and a commitment
to historical accuracy, Molly Lyons, brings the true story of one of the
world's truly remarkable women of history, Grace O'Malley (Granuaile),
alive. You will be moved and astounded by her performance. I am
delighted that my book has helped to inspire such a realistic
and creative interpretation."
