Drama
The lives of two blind beggars change when a holy man comes to their rural Irish village promising to miraculously restore their sight.
- <p><i>The Well of the Saints</i> opens with the arrival of a wandering holy man to a small Irish village promising to restore the sight of the blind beggars who live by the crossroads there. The small community is upended by the arrival of the miracle worker and his can of water from a remote holy well.</p>
- <p><a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/j-m-synge">John Millington Synge</a> uses this simple story to expose and ridicule the pretensions and hypocrisies of every character in the story, the holy, the lowly, and the respectable alike. Synge’s ruthless and irreverent comedy enraged contemporary critics, especially his treatment of the holy man and by implication the Catholic Church; the same traits that would lead to riots in Dublin and New York on the premiere of his next play, <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/j-m-synge/the-playboy-of-the-western-world"><i>The Playboy of the Western World</i></a></p>
