Into The Torrent Sea
6476 Santa Monica Blvd Hollywood
O'Malley's tale is the true story of adventure on the high seas off the coast of Britain. Her estate and home seized by the English nobleman Governor Bingham, O'Malley makes a pact with Queen Elizabeth I that affords Grace the ability to roam the seas near England, engaging and plundering foreign vessels and discouraging invasion. The pirate queen's decades-long seafaring career extended well into her 70s. Marriage and children were also part of her rich, full life. Grace was a pre-feminist entrepreneurial career woman who had it all. Her triumphs are made all the more extraordinary as she overcame misogyny, violence, betrayal, incarceration, and attacks on her family.
