You're creating the validators array incorrectly. I'm assuming from
your example that you're creating an array of field => validators arrays
that you use to create your elements. The problem with how you've done
it is that setValidators(), which is called when you pass validators via
the constructor, expects that each element in the array is either a
string or an array representing a single validator. Additionally, you
can sometimes run into issues with order of operators, so I typically
recommend using key/value pairs in each array defining a validator.
Try the following:
protected $_validators = array(
'field1' => array(
array(
'validator' => true,
'breakChainOnFailure' => true,
'options' => array('/[^a-z\' -]/i'),
),
),
);
Second, you'll notice I modified the regex a bit. The 'i' switch tells
it to be case insensitive, which is easier than 'a-zA-Z'. Additionally,
if you want to include a hyphen in the character class, it's a good
practice to put it as the last character -- that way it doesn't
require escaping either.

This is because of how you were passing the validators previously.
