- John Millington Synge (1871-1909) an Irish writer of plays. W B Yeats persuaded him to write about the life of Irish peasants (= poor farmers). His plays use the language of ordinary country people in a dramatic way. His best-known work, The Playboy of the Western World (1907), is the story of a man who arrives in a small community and pretends that he has killed his father. Many Irish people were angry at the idea that Irish peasants would welcome a murderer and treat him with respect. There were protests when the play was first performed at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, but it is now considered one of the greatest plays in Irish literature.
JM辛格（JM Synge）：约翰·米林顿·辛格（John Millington Synge，1871-1909年），爱尔兰戏剧作家。WB Yeats说服他写有关爱尔兰农民的生活。他的戏剧戏剧性地使用了普通乡下人的语言。他最著名的作品《西方世界的花花公子》（1907年）讲述了一个男人来到一个小社区并假装杀死了父亲的故事。许多爱尔兰人对爱尔兰农民欢迎凶手并尊重他的想法感到愤怒。该剧最初在都柏林修道院剧院上演时曾引起抗议，但现在被认为是爱尔兰文学中最伟大的戏剧之一。
