Books by John Millington Synge

The story of Christy Mahon, a timid peasant youth who is bullied, then rebels. This play of passion, and savage humour disturbed the first audiences at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 1907 and led to riots.

During his short life, John Millington Synge wrote six plays which remain among the classics of Irish theatre. This volume contains six of his plays, the final one being Deirdre of the Sorrows, which he had nearly completed on his death.
