Isis Theatre CompanyPhotosAt the request of Olivia Robertson, Gwendoline Rouiller has written this letter to all FOI members: On December 21st for the Winter Solstice of 2004 at Huntington Castle Theatre, Clonegal which is nestled between Carlow, Wexford and Wicklow in the green Isle of Ireland. A play written by the Hon. Olivia Robertson was performed. The ‘Eye of Vision’ was acted by the award winning, Carlow Little Theatre Society. The evening was a wonderful success. However when spring came upon us and the possibility of a tour came about, holidays and work schedules did not allow the free flowing of our time line. So it became evident to me something had to change. The inspiration came to me one day while walking on Mount Leinster with my two cats Phoenix and Ashtar. It would be ideal if we could be more independent. Self-sufficient perhaps. What if we were able to enjoy booking a tour around Ireland and the UK with more freedom of movement. Have the ability to make the appropriate arrangements fitting into our own requirements and time lines. It was as though the Goddess Herself heard my call and I could not help feeling the presence of Lawrence Olivia’s brother. So it came to me that Olivia and I needed to form our own organisation for the performance of her Mystical and Alchemical plays. Usually when an idea comes to me I leave it be for about 10 days, then I think it over for about 10 days and finally I discuss it openly for about 10 days. This way I feel it is more than a thought but now has form and can lead to a foundation of some sort. On this occasion the idea refused to be kept contained in any way and within a week I found myself mentioning it to Olivia. Immediately her eyes lit up! ‘That’s a great idea, lets do it.’ Thus the Isis Theatre Company was born and on May 1st the first recording was made. On June 4th 2005 in Huntington Castle Theatre, the home of the Hon. Olivia Robertson the Eye of Vision was read out by the actors of the Isis Theatre Company to great success. Olivia took her vision to the public with an explanation of each enactment this time it was understood. Everyone present with a heart could hear and feel the energy behind the genius of Olivia’s writings. Gwendoline Rouiller Dame Commander of the Noble Order of Tara.
