The Well of the Saints: A Comedy in Three Acts by J. M. Synge
"The Well of the Saints: A Comedy in Three Acts" by J. M. Synge is a three-act play first performed in 1905. Set in a remote Irish mountain district centuries ago, it follows two blind beggars who believe themselves beautiful, deceived by their community's lies. When a wandering saint restores their sight with holy water, they discover devastating truths about themselves and each other. The play explores the conflict between illusion and
reality, questioning whether sight is truly a blessing or a curse. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
