Clever concept centered on an exotic island inhabited mainly by wildlife and likely tourists being the only humans around for the most part. The island is overrun not by cats or monkeys, but by herons and their previous abode is in shambles due to the very reason they are not allowed to stay. Therein lies the conflict. Charming and comic flourishes in the dialogue unique to Lawing's style make this piece work out of anyone's mouth, younger or older.
