'The play is constructed like a perfectly sprung fat gold watch, whose loud tick can still be heard in almost every Irish play written since its Dublin premiere in 1907.'

Synopsis
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., 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..... New Mermaids are modernized, fully annotated editions of classic English plays.Each volume includes:....Modern spelling playtext ..Textual notes recording substantive changes to the copytext and variant readings..Glossing notes elucidating obscure words and word play..Critical, contextual and staging notes..Photographs of productions where applicable..A full introduction which provides a critical account of the play, the staging conventions of the time and recent stage history., Synge, who came from a middle-class Protestant family near Dublin, created a huge scandal at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, where The Playboy was staged in 1907, because its audience did not take kindly to a comedy that seemed to portray the Irish as violent, superstitious sots and swaggerers. Synge relied on and at the same time mocked the Irish dramatic movement and its ambition to create realistic drama that was also poetically beautiful. The play is set 'near a village, on a wild coast of Mayo'. On the first day, a stranger arrives and declares that he is on the run because he has killed his father - for this, the villagers turn him into a hero. On the second day, however, his father arrives walking wounded, and although Christy knocks him down with a spade, his father seems impossible to kill. The set off together, still quarrelling, and the villagers are bereft of their excitement.

    This was a cancelled order. The description says hexagon and I didn’t notice it’s actually octagon. Bummer. Thanks for your help though.
