The Tinker’s Wedding

This play, set in rural Ireland, tells the story of a young woman who defies social convention by marrying a local tinker. The couple's joyful celebration is met with hostility by the woman's father, a scheming politician who stands to lose a large sum of money if his daughter marries beneath her station. Synge's biting satire and vivid characters make this a classic of Irish drama.
