Grace O’Keefe and Erin Holland met at Royal Holloway while Grace was completing her MA in Directing and Erin was completing her MA in Playwriting. They quickly bonded over their shared Irish heritage, their past experiences as teachers, and their passion for women in comedy. The Queens of Cups are commited to elevating new and emerging voices, particularly during this difficult time for the theatre industry. They are establishing a matriarchal theatre practice within their dramaturgy in their digital and real life productions.

New Moon Monologues

 

The Queens of Cups launched New Moon Monologues as a platform for emerging artists. New Moon Monologues is a new writing night guided by the cycles of the moon: We put out the call for submissions on the New Moon, read through the applications on the Full Moon, and close the cycle with a live performance of twelve written ‘monologues’ on the next New Moon.

 

After a sold-out in-person performance at the Space Theatre in May 2021, we are returning to present a new night with the theme of “The Witches You Couldn’t Burn” on March 27th.

As a Writer-Director Team

 

When they are not producing others’ work, The Queens of Cups work together as a writer-director team. Grace has directed the first act of Erin’s Ecofeminist epic Saturn’s Return and is preparing to direct Erin’s one-woman show Bad Teacher, which will debut at Underbelly Bristo Square during Edinburgh Fringe 2021.
