Riders to the Sea has been praised as the biggest play in John Millington Synge and is likely based on another visit he made to the Aran Islands. In a cottage on the central island of the Aran group on Inishmaan, the story follows Maurya and her daughters when they discover that the sea has taken even
more away from them. Having already lost four sons, one husband and father-in-chief of the sea, Maurya is understandably lost as the boy considered his favourite Michael lost at sea. For nine days he mourns in search of the sea for his body, but when Bartley is also taken by the sea, Maurya is almost
numb to the grief of loss he has had to carry, and continues to carry. Bartley is lost when the pony he leads to the Galway Fair slams him into a hard sea after he decides to go despite Maurya's claims that he will be left without one boy as a man of the house. Maurya accepts the last loss beautifully and
discovers that in the end the sea can't take more away from him. He sprinkles holy water on Bartley's body and Michael's clothes, which are all he has from him, and then acknowledges the truth that no human being can live forever, and in the end we have no choice but to be satisfied. The play was
written by John Millington Synge This article is about the play. The opera is in Riders to the Sea. Sara Allgood - Maurya, a picture taken by Carl Van Vechten, 1938 Riders to the Sea is a play written by Irish literary Renaissance playwright John Millington Synge. It was first performed by the National
Theatre Association of Ireland on 25 February 1904 at Molesworth Hall in Dublin with Helen Laird playing Maurya. A one-act tragedy, the play is set in the Aran Islands, Inishmaan, and like all of Synge's plays, it is known as capturing the poetic dialogue of the Irish countryside. The plot is not based on the
traditional conflict of human wills, but on the hopeless struggle of the people against the impersonal but relentless cruelty of the sea. Background In 1897, his friend and colleague William Butler Yeats encouraged J. M. Synge to visit the Aran Islands. He spent summers there since 1898 in 1903. On the
Island of Inishmaan in Aran, Synge heard the story of an Inishman man whose body washed up on the shores of County Donegal, which inspired riders into the sea. Riders to the Sea is written in the Hiberno English dialect of the Aran Islands. Synge's use of english is part of the Irish literary resurrection,
when Irish literature seemed to encourage pride and nationalism in Ireland. Several scenes from the play were taken from stories synge collected during his time in the Aran Islands and recorded in his book The Aran Islands. These include identifying a drowned man by wearing his clothes and the story
that the man's ghost was seen Important characters Maurya: Grief-stricken widow and mother of eight Cathleen, Nora, Bartley, Shawn, Sheamus, Stephen, Patch and Michael. Maurya's older daughter tries to prevent her mother from dying of grief by recognizing her dead brother Michael's clothes.
Maurya's younger daughter helps her sister with her mother. Maurya's youngest and only living son will be dead by the end of the play. Maurya's sons Shawn, Sheamus, Stephen, Patch and Michael, as well as Maurya's husband, have died since the play began. There is also a priest figure who is never
seen, but quoted by Cathleen and Nora at the beginning of the play. Eamon Simon, Stephen Pheety and Colum Shawn are Bartley's neighbors and friends. Plot synopsis Maurya has lost her husband and five sons to the sea. As the play begins, Nora and Cathleen are informed by the priest that the body,
which may be their brother Michael, has washed ashore in Donegal, on the Irish mainland north of their home island of Inishmaan. Bartley's going to sail to Connemara to sell the horse, and he doesn't care about Maurya's appeals to stay. He's leaving smoothly. Maurya predicts that by tonight she won't
have any living sons, and her daughters will argue with her for sending Bartley in a bad word. Maurya goes after Bartley to bless her journey, and Nora and Cathleen get clothes from the drowned body confirming it was Michael. Maurya returns home claiming he has seen Michael's ghost ride behind
Bartley and begins to lament the loss of his family's men to the sea, after which some villagers bring Bartley's body. He's fallen off his horse and drowned in the sea. This Maurya speech is famous in Irish drama: (raises his head and talks as if he can't see the people around him) They're all gone now and
the sea can't do anything to me anymore.... I no longer have an invitation to be crying and praying as the wind blows from the south, and you can hear the surfing is in the east, and surfing is in the west, mixing a lot with two voices, and they hit each other. I have no reason to go down and have Holy
Water on the dark nights of samhain, and I don't care what the sea is like when other women are eager. (Noralle) Give me the holy water, Nora. There is still a small sup in the dresser. Themes Paganism The permeable theme of this work is the subtle paganism synthesis observed in rural Ireland. After
the separation of Christianity, Synge found that predominantly Roman Catholic Ireland still retained many folk stories and sposs of old Celtic paganism. This play is a review of this idea because he has a group of deeply religious figures who are at odds with the unbeatable force of nature (this is the sea).
When a family is Catholic, they still find themselves wary of the supernatural qualities of natural elements, an idea that is very present in Celtic pagans. Tradition vs. modernity Another main theme of the play is the tension between the traditional and modern worlds of Ireland. Although Maurya, a
representative of the older Irish generation, is closely linked to the traditional world and introverted, Nora, a representative of the younger generation, wants to transform with the outside world and thus into an outward-looking one. Cathleen, the eldest daughter struggles to transcend the two worlds and
keep both in balance. [2] Fatalism The characters in the play are always connected to the reality of death, sea and drowning and accept it especially as a constant threat. They have been caught between the two realities of the sea as a source of livelihood and a fatal threat. [3] The object and culture of
death in the form of a coffin, ancstima and sorrow are common in the play and are closely based on Synge's observations of aransa islands culture. [1] Other versions of the film At least two film versions have been made: one of the earliest examples of Irish cinema in 1935, a 40-minute black-and-white
film directed by Brian Desmond Hurst, in which Patrick Kirwan adapted the screenplay with Sara Allgood and, in particular, Synge's grieving fiancée Marie O'Neill. John Ford had directed Hurst in Hollywood, and Ruth Barton describes the scenes in the film as remarkably Fordian. Ronan O'Leary directed
and adapted the 1987 47-minute color film with Geraldine Page. Opera Composer Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872–1958) made the play an almost verbatim set as an opera using the same title (1927). Bruce Montgomery (1927–2008) wrote the light opera Spindrift (1963), based on Riders to the Sea. The
German composer Eduard Pütz (1911–2000) also set the play as an opera using the same title (1972). American composer Marga Richter (b. 1926) also set the play as a one-act opera using the same title (1996). French composer Henri Rabaud (1873-1949) L'appel de la mer, one-act opera, (1924),
Rabaudin libretto based on Riders to the Sea, debut in Paris, Salle Favart, April 10, 1924 Dance Mary Anthony's work is called Threnody. Stage Señora Carrari's Rifles is a one-act play adaptation. DruidSynge performs all of Synge's plays. The French version of the play was translated into French by
Georgette Sable, and published by Anthropomare[4] Other translations include: À cheval vers la mer (Riders to the Sea, 1903 ; 1904) translated by Maurice Bourgeois,[5] Cavaliers à la mer, translated by Fouad El-Etr,[6] and Cavaliers vers la mer (combined with L'Ombre de la ée), translated by Françoise
