From Dublin to the Sea: John M. Synge
November 8, 2020 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The Dr. Greta McCormick Coger Literary Salon Series:
Inspired by our annual Southern Literary Salons, by our recent digital Decameron Project during the virus shut-down, and our generous long-time friend and scholar Dr. Greta Coger, we offer you a full slate of one-hour (or less) curated readings, scenes, speeches, and discussions that explore important authors and subjects close to home. Presented by TSC’s resident artists on our Owen and Margaret Wellford Tabor Stage, Greta’s Salon Series will engage you in an informal, comfortable, safe atmosphere on either our Tabor Stage or via our digital, paid simulcast.
From Dublin to the Sea:
John M. Synge
curated by Stephanie Shine
in honor of Pat and Ernest Kelly
Sunday, November 8 at 3:00 pm
Meet the man whose plays caused riots in the streets of Dublin and New York in the early 20th century. With humor and a rare ear for Irish colloquialisms, J.M. Synge’s short career left an indelible mark on Ireland and modern playwriting. His Riders to the Sea is lauded as the perfect one-act play, and his Playboy of the Western World is a searing comic look at the complexities and dichotomies of the human experience.
