I have all clues solved. I have the quotation inserted. Please give me some clue as to what might go in the 8 isolated squares and as to what the 3 letter word might be.

Look at the diagonals!

I'm sort of stuck on the three letter word, but I have an idea what it might be based on a couple of anomalies in the clues and the "two knights moves" bit. Can anyone tell me if it is a word meaning understand/work out? Seems to fit, but I'm not sure it sums up the theme...
I don't get the 3 letter word. Why the 2 extra s's?
Keithsolver: Re 2 extra S's
The grid is missing 2 symmetrical bars, 1 after the 3-letter 11 across entry & the other on right side of square containing 35. The number 35 must be moved 1 square to the right.
Many thanks Gasman - I have sent you an e-mail
Alilloyd, if you mean SEE, then no it's not. There is a particular reason why MynoT has orientated the isolated squares with NW pointing directly up, and it relates to a specific (different) quotation regarding the main theme of the play in question. The 3-letter word is an adjective derived from this theme.
MLN ~ the missing bars you mention, and the 35 to be moved ~ are you saying these are mistakes by the setter?
Rabet:
Yes, Mike Laws has apologised for his mistake on another site.
Thanks for that, MLN.
A relative in another city has phoned me for help with the 3-letter word but I don't have the crossword. Could it be described as play or behave?
zita-green:
NO
I must be being very thick as I can't seem to make anything of the diagonals:
E_SE_U_AS_S
H_RO_U_OU_H
or am I looking at the wrong diagonals?
I'm completely stuck so any hints would be great!
Thanks
Your diagonals are correct Ripper, but you need to ignore the central cell, ie start in the 4 inner isolated squares to 'find directions out'.
Thanks Mysterons!
Now all I need is to sort out the three-letter word!
I don't play chess!
So I need help!
Must be my age....................
For the purposes of this puzzle a knight's move is 2 up and 1 to the right - you just need to work out where to start, and my advice is don't wander too far from the centre (see my first post above)
Thanks Myterons, I'll have (yet) another try!
Like you guys I finished everything but the 3 letter word quite quickly. I think I've found this missing "insane" word but am a bit thrown by its direction as as the quotation that led me to it implies it should go NNW - ie I thought I'd find it with the first 2 letters going up and the 3rd diagonally to the left of them. However- the manifestation I have found has 2 letters north of the 3rd, which is on row below, to the west of them. Have I missed something or is this it?
As I mentioned above, for the purposes of this puzzle a knight's move is 2 up and 1 to the right. Had the 3-letter word run directly up, this would have been NW - it therefore runs north of NW = NNW (approximately)
