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 confronts her past, losses she’s suffered, and mistakes she’s made in the name of love. Judith Thompson returns to Tarragon Theatre with her newest play, a masterwork of storytelling featuring Canadian theatre icon, Clare Coulter as Queen Maeve. Moving, heartbreaking, and beautiful, Queen Maeve intertwines magic with reality, and asks what it means to face your ‘twilight years’ with a sword in your hand.
