THE ISLANDER – A Play by
Elizabeth Brincklow.
Myrtle Scharrer Betz was
born and grew up on Caladesi Island. Myrtle’s life, as related in her
autobiographical Yesteryear I Lived in Paradise, illustrates the
wonders, discomforts, challenges, and joys of pioneer life on a barrier island
when Florida really was a tropical paradise. Performed as a reading, The
Islander focuses on a pivotal time in Myrtle’s life when she must
choose to remain living on Caladesi Island or to move to the mainland with her
husband and young daughter. A post reading discussion with questions and
answers will take place with Dunedin playwright Elizabeth Brincklow and Terry
Fortner, Myrtle’s granddaughter.
