John Millington Synge Profile of John Millington Synge W B Yeats Lady Gregory Molly Allgood ... Abbey Theatre JOHN MILLINGTON SYNGE (1871 - 1909) playwright Born 16 th Apr 1871, Newtown Little, Rathfarnham, County Dublin Educated privately and at Trinity College Dublin, where he won prizes in Irish and Hebrew. As a boy he showed an absorbing interest in nature and roamed the Dublin mountains and Wicklow glens. He studied at the Royal Irish Academy of Music while still an undergraduate and became proficient on the piano, flute, and violin. Deciding to become a musician, he went to Germany in 1893 for further study but after two years turned to literature and settled in Paris, making occasional trips to Ireland, including a visit to the Aran Islands. In Paris he met W B Yeats, who advised him to return to the Aran Islands and write about the way of life there. Synge spent the late summers of 1899–1902 on the islands, sharing the isolated life, playing his fiddle, and listening to the talk and stories around the firesides at night. He began a book, The Aran Islands , which found a publisher in 1907 and was illustrated by Jack Yeats.

91. The Norton Anthology Of English Literature: The 20th Century: Topic 4: Texts And JM Synge, The Playboy of the Western World. (Edmund) John Millington Synge (1871–1909)was born near Dublin to middleclass parents and educated at Trinity http://www.wwnorton.com/nael/20century/topic_4/synge.htm

J. M. Synge, The Playboy of the Western World In the Shadow of the Glen and Riders to the Sea , were published together in 1904, and The Well of the Saints followed in 1905. In 1906, Synge became a director of the Abbey Theatre and the following year his best-known work, The Playboy of the Western World , opened there to riots. These were supposedly incited by Synge's use of the word "shift" (Christy says of the heroine Pegeen that he would choose her even if he were "brought a drift of chosen females, standing in their shifts . . . from this place to the eastern world"). were performed at the Abbey. His last play, Deidre of the Sorrows Poems and Translations , for which Yeats wrote a foreword, was published in 1909. Yeats wrote, "He was but the more hated because he gave his country what it needed, an unmoved mind." The Playboy of the Western World W.W.

92. Furious Theatre Company // The Playboy Of The Western World Reviews Tis a grand tale that Irish poetplaywright John Millington Synge (1871–1909) tellsin The words in JM Synge s script come so rapidly it takes the ear a few http://www.furioustheatre.org/ReviewsPlayboy.html

see the production history back to 2002 highlights The Playboy of the Western World LA Weekly Wednesday, September 25, 2002 The Playboy of the Western World Recommended, Pick of the Week Backstage West Wednesday, September 25, 2002 The Playboy of the Western World Even before the lights dim, the audience is transported back to turn-of-the-last-century Ireland. The gorgeous set makes you feel as if you've walked into a dusty pub in the middle of nowhere as melancholy dirges play. There's even a glossary of terms within the program to help you decipher some of the more challenging colloquialisms that will be heard throughout the evening. But the glossary isn't much help once the action starts. The words in J.M Synge's script come so rapidly it takes the ear a few moments to adjust to the thick Irish accents of the colorful locals. Then a young stranger, Christy (Brad Price), stumbles into the pub, recounting a powerful story of how he murdered his own father. Instead of reacting with the expected horror, the townsfolk regard him as a hero and turn Christy into Mayo's most eligible bachelor. Things come undone when his not-so-dead father comes seeking revenge. Synge's script may be a classic, but it is nonetheless flawed. We're never made to understand why Christy's tale is of such fascination to these people, and some great comedic opportunities are missed. A romance between Christy and the fiery bar owner Pegeen (Sara Hennessy) isn't fully fleshed, and his devotion to her when she turns on him doesn't quite ring true. It would seem more satisfying if Christy were a braggart trapped by his own lies, but the audience only feels sorry for the poor lad who is caught by accidental untruths. Also unclear is why the town bad girl (Laura Russell) goes out of her way to help Christy win the affections of her enemy Pegeen.
