The Tinker's Wedding

By

J.M Synge

The Tinker's Wedding, Producer Moema de Castro Alves will be filming a documentary on the play history , including J.M Synge life. The riots in the Abbey Theatre with his play ' The Playboy of the Western World to The Tinker's Wedding being banned from Abbey Theatre.

With Mythology's Production of the play being held in Ionad an Phiarsaigh , 27 Pearse street, the home of 1916 Easter rising Republican Leader, Padraig Pearse.

Padraig who critically attacked Synge's Riders to the Sea and Tinker's Wedding plays who decried it because of the author's attitude to God and religion. he changed his mind later on. Writing in 'From The Hermitage' in 1914, Pearse declared himself an admirer of Synge. Pearse wrote that Synge possessed a sad heart in which "there glowed a true love of Ireland, one of two or three men who have in our time made Ireland considerable in the eyes of the world."

Synge's audience felt that he did a disservice to Irish Nationalism for not idealizing his characters

It's about time , that Synge's masterpiece play and with the support of Ionad an Phiarsaigh, coming together to celebrate the rich Irish Culture of our somewhat forgotten hero's. As mark of respect to Padraig Pearse and J.M Synge, the play is being held from 25th to 27th March, around Easter Time and to recognise that great literature lasts forever with the play's first viewing in 1909

With the craftmanship of our Brazilian Producer, Moema , The Tinker's Wedding will surely find a fresh approach in 2011
