Award winning storyteller and guest on the Blindboy Podcast Debs Newbold brings you the incredible and dramatic life story of one of history's forgotten female badasses: Grace O'Malley.

“An inspired storyteller…DAUNTLESS is vivid” — Peter Lord, Aardman

"Debs is magnificent" - Blindboy

Stowing away aboard her father’s ship aged eight, Grace O'Malley grew into 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, this legendary badass was real.

From the west of Ireland to the court of Elizabeth I, from wild youth to even wilder old age, Debs gleefully strips the barnacles from history to give Grace the full-bodied treatment she deserves: drama, momentum, depth and laughter, all delivered with Debs’ powerhouse energy and skill. This is storytelling for grownups. And no knights in shining armour need apply.
