Customer Reviews

Nice small edition of Synge's plays

If you got here, chances are you already know that Synge is a great playwrite, so I won't go on about that. As far as this edition (the Vintage Mass Market paperback edition), there are no notes or introductions to be seen, but the plays are all here - and Yeats' short poem about Synge's masterpiece, "The Playboy of the Western World," is printed on the back cover to boot! All in all, a nice cheap copy of the complete plays of one of the best of the Irish dramatists. Definitely can't go wrong here.
