Abstract:

The disappearing act was “The Lost Colony,” the touted first outdoor play about the colony of English settlers who settled in Roanoke in 1588 and disappeared in 1590, with the most famous being the first born on American soil, Virginia Dare. As the author suggested, the virtue of Paul Green’s play was leaving audience members deciding how to solve the mystery behind the disappearance for themselves.
