The Tinker's Wedding

The Tinker's Wedding is a play written by John M. Synge, an Irish playwright and poet. The play is set in rural Ireland and follows the story of Michael Byrne, a tinker or itinerant worker, who falls in love with Sarah Casey, a young woman from a wealthy family. Despite their class differences, Michael and Sarah decide to get married, much to the disapproval of Sarah's father, who wants her to marry a man from a similar social background.The play explores themes of love, class, and tradition, and is known for its satirical portrayal of Irish society. The characters are vividly drawn, with Michael portrayed as a charismatic and cunning figure, and Sarah as a strong-willed woman who is determined to marry the man she loves, regardless of the consequences.The Tinker's Wedding is often seen as a critique of the rigid social structures of early 20th-century Ireland, and a celebration of the resilience and resourcefulness of the working-class people who inhabited the countryside. It is also a testament to Synge's skill as a writer, with its sharp dialogue, vivid imagery, and powerful themes making it a classic of Irish literature.MICHAEL. A poor way only, Sarah Casey, for it's the divil's job making a ring, and you'll be having my hands destroyed in a short while the way I'll not be able to make a tin can at all maybe at the dawn of day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
