An Irish playwright and poet, John Millington Synge was a key figure in the Irish Literary Revival. With The Playboy of the Western World, Synge led his audience to the midst of Irish society. Such was his impact that Yeats hailed him the greatest dramatic genius of Ireland.On the run after murdering his father, Christy Mahon, a young boy arrives in County Mayo. Thereafter, he falls in love with the barmaid, Pegeen. From then on, events take a downward spiral and things fall apart when Mahon's father arrives, having survived the attack.Written at a time of unrest in Ireland, the performance of this three-act play led to riots as it was said to have offended Irish morals.
