Dauntless

★★★★ “energising and entrancing”- eFestivals

“sensational … a superb storyteller” – Crick Crack Club

“Newbold is a master of words and space” – StageTalk Magazine

"incredible...by the end if she'd asked us to rise up and destroy the patriarchy, we would have" - Audience Review

Award winning storyteller 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 8, Grace became a 16th century force of nature. A multilingual, seafaring weapons expert, leader of 2000 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.

Debs Newbold er en av Storbritannias ledende fortellerkunstnere. Hun har laget kritiker- og publikumsroste soloforestillinger som hun har turnert med på festivaler i Europa og USA i en årrekke.

Debs jobber også for Shakespeare's Globe Theatre som deres offisielle Shakespeare-forteller.
