John Millington Synge (1871–1909)
Autor de The Playboy of the Western World and Other Plays
Sobre El Autor
After graduating from Trinity College, Dublin, Synge left for Europe to write poetry. If W. B. Yeats had not discovered him in Paris and persuaded him to return to Ireland and absorb its native traditions, the Irish renaissance might have lost its best playwright. As it was, Synge's poetry of mostrar más Celtic romanticism was rather more tempered with a European realism than Yeats and his renaissance had anticipated. Yeats sent Synge to the West of Ireland to get to know the peasants there. The result was, in addition to the journal The Aran Islands (1907), two short plays for the Abbey: The Shadow of the Glen (1903), in which a comic resurrection interrupts a widow's marriage bargaining, and Riders to the Sea (1904), about a mother's loss of her last son, a perfect condensed tragedy and probably the finest one-act play. The poorly received The Well of the Saints (1905), whose characters vehemently reject reality for comfortable illusion, offered the Abbey audience a warning of what was to come. This was Synge's masterpiece, The Playboy of the Western World (1907), which touched off rioting at the theater. The playboy is Christy Mahon, a lout who becomes a hero among the Mayo peasantry when he boasts he has murdered his father. Satire on Irish romanticism conceals a parable of the poet's development and estrangement from his public. But Dublin nationalists heard only the people slandered, and Dublin prudery heard only the forbidden word "shifts" on Christy's lips. Playboy was the last play Synge saw staged. He died of cancer at age 37, never having completed Deirdre of the Sorrows (1910), his only work in the Celtic legendary mode. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

The Playboy of the Western World por John Millington Synge
I admit, I struggle to see the significance. On the other hand, the writing of the Irish Language is beautiful.
This was not at all what I was expecting from the title. I can see that it would be funnier on stage, and the Irish dialect and vocabulary would really support the 'plot', but I mainly found it tiresome. It was also quite predictable, apart from the final twist, which I really didn't see coming.
Really 3½ stars and 4 stars for the full cast LibriVox recording (the last play in a collection of one act plays found here).
I read this extremely short one act play (contained in the book [b:Five Great Modern Irish Plays|3743896|Five Great Modern Irish Plays|George Jean Nathan|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png|3787724]) while listening to the LibriVox recording. The Irish voices of the cast helped bring the play to life for me. The play itself is very sad, about a woman wholoses her last remaining son to an accidental drowning just the day after another son's body has been identified. …
