Description: This revised edition of the play is published alongside commentary and notes by Christopher Collins Assistant Professor of Drama at the University of Nottingham UK. It includes information for today's students on the play's context; themes; dramatic devices; production history; critical reception; academic debate; and ideas for further study. It also includes interviews with practitioners involved in major recent productions of the play. Described by J. M. Synge as "a comedy an extravaganza made to use" The Playboy of the Western World is one of the most iconic plays to have come out of Ireland in the 20th century and is today recognised as a staple of the dramatic canon. It is published as a new Student Edition which offers a 21st century lens on a play over 100 years old. When it was first performed in 1907 at Dublin's Abbey Theatre Synge's play provoked uproar and was interrupted more than once by the police. Today we recognise its importance in making Irish drama the force it became in the early 20th century.
