This volume offers all of Synge's plays, which range from racy comedy to stark tragedy, all sharing a memorable lyricism.

Yeats and Lady Gregory. Includes: Riders to the Sea; The Shadow of the Glen; The Tinker's Wedding; The Well of the Saints; The Play of the Western World; Deirdre of the Sorrows
