Three Irish Plays is a collection of three plays by J.M. Synge, a prominent Irish playwright of the early 20th century. The first play, The Land of Heart's Desire, tells the story of a young couple who are visited by fairies in their home in rural Ireland. The second play, The Twisting of the Rope, is a tragic tale of a young man who is falsely accused of stealing a sheep and is executed as a result. The final play, Riders to the Sea, is a haunting portrayal of the lives of a family living on the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland, as they struggle to come to terms with the death of their loved ones at sea. These three plays are considered some of Synge's finest works and are celebrated for their portrayal of Irish culture and the beauty of the Irish landscape.Introduction By Harrison Hale Schaff.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
