description: There was rioting in the streets when this play was first performed in 1907, and audiences today still find it riotously funny. The action takes place in a wayside pub near a village in County Mayo in Western Ireland. Christopher Mahon becomes a local hero when he announces to the crowd that he's killed his father.
