'Riders to the Sea' (1904), is a classic one-act tragedy by famed Irish playwright J.M. Synge. Maurya, a widower of the Aran Islands who has lost her husband and five sons to the sea, is alarmed when she learns that her brother's body has also washed up on the beaches of Donegal. Convinced that tragedy will befall her still, Maurya pleads with her only living son, Bartley, to not brave the tempestuous waters to journey to County Galway for business. When he does not listen, Maurya must only wait to see if her predictions will come that by night's fall she will have no sons left... A heart-breaking drama that captures the beautiful lyricism of the Irish, 'Riders to the Sea' conveys colossal emotion in such a minute play. With riveting dialogue throughout, Synge explores the hopelessness of humanity in the face of nature. The futility of human life in 'Riders to the Sea' is echoed in other classic Irish plays like Samuel Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot' (1953). With the timeless universality of its message, 'Riders of the Sea' is sure to find a home with modern audiences looking to experience one of the most profound tragedies of the 20th century
