The Playboy of the Western World and Riders to the Sea - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World and Riders to the Sea are two of the Irish playwright’s most famous and remarkable works. Set in Ireland at the turn of the century, The Playboy of the Western World centers on a farmer as he regales several townsmen with the story of how he came to kill his own father. A one-act play, Riders to the Sea details a small Irish village’s bittersweet relationship with the sea, which has claimed many of the villagers’ loved ones. While short, these works remain poignant introductions to Synge’s poetic dialogue and powerful characterization.
