Playboy of the Western World

The Playboy of the Western World is a three-act play written by Irish playwright John Millington Synge, first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on 26 January 1907. It is set in Michael James Flaherty's public house in County Mayo (on the west coast of Ireland) during the early 1900s. It tells the story of Christy Mahon, a young man running away from his farm, claiming he killed his father. The play is known for its use of the poetic, evocative language of Hiberno-English, heavily influenced by the Irish language, as Synge celebrates the lyrical speech of the Irish. more »

Echo's hang on every wall
Starburst sunset sunset fall
Sodium light hits the night
Electron beams hit the screens
Radio waves energy tides
Video graves audio rides

In a state of progress
Are these the dreams for which you pray
They hold you in a dazed distress
They may come true some day

Sea's of amber city lights
Skies of silver satellites
See me sat by my TV
Neatly dressed increasing stress

Starlight constellations
Bring frantic romantic associations
Another scream another sensation
Another scheme life becomes 
Technical consolation

In a state of progress
Are these the dreams for which you pray
They hold you in a dazed distress
They may come true some day

Sea's of amber city lights
Skies of silver satellites
See me sat by my TV
Neatly dressed increasing stress
The word they use is
Progress

Echo's hang on every wall
Starburst sunset sunset fall
Sodium light hits the night
Electron beams hit the screens
