John Millington Synge, a leading figure in the Irish literary renaissance and one of Ireland's most celebrated writers, powerfully and poetically describes the harsh rural life on the West Coast of Ireland in his six plays:
- In the Shadow of the Glen
- Riders to the Sea
- The Well of the Saints
- The Playboy of the Western World
- The Tinker's Wedding
- Deirdre of the Sorrows.
This hardback edition of the collected plays is the perfect way to appreciate Synge's powerful passionate drama.
