Grace "Grania" O'Malley, "the hussy who hath indeed impudently stepped o'er the bounds of womanhood", is the center character in playwright Maggie Cronin's story of the Irish pirate queen.

Set against a backdrop of an Ireland soon to be lost forever, and Ireland on the cusp of history, this solo piece performed by Christina Augello, follows Grace from a young defiant girl to her historic meeting with England's Queen Elizabeth in 1593 at the age of 63. Driven by a fervent love of the sea and a fierce loyalty to the Gaelic way of life, Grace became a "cut throat, cut purse sailor woman", a symbol of national defiance, "a nursemaid to every rebellion in Connaught".
