The second is set on the Aran Islands, where a woman waits for news of her son, who is missing at sea.

This collection also includes “The Tinker’s Wedding,” a short comedy written about the time of the other two plays but not performed until much later for fear that its treatment of a rural Irish priest would scandalize Dublin’s pious..." data-title="Книга Short Plays">
