WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

DruidSynge combines the complete plays of John Millington Synge, one of the most influential figures in the Irish literary renaissance: Riders to the Sea, The Tinker's Wedding, The Well of the Saints, The Shadow of the Glen, The Playboy of the Western World, and Deirdre of the Sorrows.

Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College
