• Lady Gregory, also known
as Isabella Augusta, was
born on March 15, 1852, in
Roxborough, County
Galway, Ireland. In
1896, Lady Gregory began
translating William Butler
Yeats's work. The two
collaborated on comedic
plays about Irish history
like Spreading the News in
• On a moonlit night at an Irish wharf by the sea, three Irish
policemen in the service of the occupying English
government pasted up wanted posters for a clever
escaped political criminal. Convinced that the escaped
rebel might creep to the water's edge to be rescued by
sea, they all hoped to capture him for the hundred-pound
reward and perhaps even a promotion.
