  • "In a wayside pub near a village in County Mayo in western Ireland, Christopher Mahon becomes a local hero when he announces to the patrons that he's killed his father. This play premiered in 1907 and it immediately provoked controversy, eventually resulting in the infamous "Playboy Riots.""
  • "Comedy in three acts by J.M. Synge, published and produced in 1907. It is a masterpiece of the Irish Literary Renaissance. This most famous of Synge's works fused the patois of ordinary Irish villagers with Synge's sophisticated rhetoric and enraged Irish playgoers with its satire of Irish braggadocio. The play follows the mercurial rise and fall of the character Christy Mahon, whose self-reported murder of his father earns him much admiration until his father shows up alive and in pursuit of his cowardly son. --The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature."

  • "Nejvýznamnější z her irského dramatika pojednává o mladíku, který se chvástavě vychloubá že zabil svého otce a sklízí obdiv svého okolí, zvláště žen. Jeho rychle vzrostlé sebevědomí je sice zchlazeno otcovým objevením, ale přece jen z příhody vychází obohacen zkušeností, že lidé se rádi obdivují lumpům - stačí k tomu silácké gesto, byť i vynášelo čin vylhaný a naprosto neobdivuhodný."
  • "Dark comedy that begins with a young man, Christy Mahon, running away from home and stopping at a small Irish town to rest. He reveals that he's killed his father. Instead of being condemned, his notoriety and skill at storytelling turn him into a town celebrity, until his father turns up wounded rather than dead."
