The Blue Ridge Community Theater is honored to have been selected to host a dramatic reading of Short Haired Grace ~ a short full-length play by Bill Bruehl.

Short Haired Grace is a play based on the actual conversation between Queen Elizabeth I and the pirate Grace O’Malley. For forty years during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558 – 1603), Grace O’Malley dominated the seas off the west coast of Ireland, leading a band of Irish pirates whom the English were unable to defeat. Finally, when both were in the sixties, these two powerful women met in London at the Queen’s invitation. That is history. How they dealt with each other is finally revealed in the play…

This play has been bought for the 2009 Lake Geneva Wisconsin Summer Festival of Plays.
