Title: Riders to the Sea
Passage: Riders to the Sea is a play written by Irish Literary Renaissance playwright John Millington Synge.  It was first performed on 25 February 1904 at the Molesworth Hall, Dublin, by the Irish National Theater Society.  A one-act tragedy, the play is set in the Aran Islands, Inishmaan, and like all of Synge's plays it is noted for capturing the poetic dialogue of rural Ireland.  The plot is based not on the traditional conflict of human wills but on the hopeless struggle of a people against the impersonal but relentless cruelty of the sea.
