The Wandering entertainer of the western world
the Wandering entertainer of the western world is a play written by J. Mr. Synge and played for the first time in January 1907.
The part which one generally considers as the chief of work of Synge was represented in January 1907 with the theater of the Abbey. The action proceeds in a rural region of the North-West of Ireland. Christy Mahon, an young man arrives in a village, affirms with the inhabitants that it is in escape after having killed his father. Those then test for him a great admiration and do not condemn it morally. But the father of the young man reappears and the villagers feel only contempt for a liar and a coward.
Nationalists, whose Griffith, touvèrent the part too not very political, and degrading as well by the vulgarity of its language as by the image as it gave moral situation of Ireland. They then contributed to cause a riot. Yeats returned immediately from Scotland and, before the second representation, there made a declaration remained famous: " you, will this is discredited themselves as be always accommodated in the future the arrival of the Irish genius? ". It decided to call the police force. The press was turned over soon against the rioters, and the protest movements became exhausted.
