Queen Maeve

By Judith Thompson

A woman in a nursing home has seemingly made no impact on the world. Her secret is that she is actually the great Irish Warrior Queen Maeve, reincarnated into one of many deceptive forms. From her bedroom, she conjures memories of the final visits of her beloved grandson, Jake, and her daughter Georgia, who she treated with coldness and cruelty. She believes that she was responsible for Jake's death by overdose, though the truth is more complicated. When she replays Georgia's final visit, we witness a mother who could not love or even like her grown child, causing her daughter immense pain. We also witness her horrifying transformation into the warrior Queen Maeve, intent on destroying her enemies. Will she be able to face these difficult truths as a grandmother and mother, and make the choice to love before she dies? Queen Maeve intertwines magic with reality and asks what it means to face your "twilight years" with a sword in your hand.
