THE Isle o Dreams was written for

is the fourth successive play she has
rial way from the average Irish romantic

peasant boy. the customary number of
hated British redcoats. the spy that es-

! Mr.. Olcott represents a young Irishman
who as a baby is cast upon the shore of
the Isle o Dreams. off the south coast
of Ireland. His parentage is unknown.

of Napoleon's threatened invasion of the
