Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price
J.M. Synge's extraordinary play about a young man on the run, and
his unexpected elevation to folk hero. A stranger, Christy Mahon,
arrives in a village bar in County Mayo in the West of Ireland,
claiming to have killed his father. The locals are impressed - some
can even directly relate to the deed - and Christy is lauded as a
folk hero. He can't believe his luck, and confidently pursues the
affections of the barmaid Pegeen, until the arrival of his
not-so-dead father takes the winds out of Christy's sails... The
Playboy of the Western World was first performed at the Abbey
Theatre, Dublin, in January 1907, causing riots across the city.
This edition of the play, in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics
series, is introduced by Margaret Llewllyn Jones.
