Island Protected by a Bridge of Glass

The play is set in 16th century Ireland when English rule first dominated Ireland. It is focussed around Graineuaile, the central character and her obsession with Elizabeth I and her royal presence. This is a historical fantasy of the old Ireland in late 1500s and early 1600s.
