Lukasz BorowiczAbout
In Synge’s drama Riders to the Sea, the composer did not change a word, making only slight cuts. Nor did he have to make major reductions in the text of what after all is a very short, one-act drama. The composer rejected most of the elements that could have allowed the precise location of Maurya’s house to be identified (all that is left is a reference to the distant Connemara), and some prosaic conversations concerning the household. In this way he universalised the subject, removing fragments of life to leave only the naked drama of the loss.
