The play explored her life in Ireland up to the time of the Easter Uprising. They will be working on another play about her later life in California where she taught at UC Berkeley for a while, lived on the Central Coast and knew people like Gavin Arthur, Ansel Adams, Robinson Jeffers and many other artists and writers. Dorothea contacted me about my father&#8217;s research into Ella Young&#8217;s life. I have posted links to that research here before but I will post them again and a link to a recording of the last play in the comments below.
