The Well of the Saints

Work:: The Well of the Saints (S1858486272)

Can a miracle be the work of a cruel God? Ignorance is bliss for the blind couple Mary and Martin Doul for whom the world is a blessed place. But when the well of the saints weaves its magic, they are disabled by sight, leaving them without the dream of their own beauty. Like his next play The Playboy of the Western World, Synge's black comedy reminds us of the necessity of illusion.
