Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"The Tinker's Wedding" by J. M. Synge is a two-act play that premiered in 1909. Set on a roadside near a rural Irish chapel, it follows Irish Tinkers Sarah Casey and Michael Byrne as they attempt to get married. Sarah convinces a reluctant Michael and strikes a deal with a local priest, but the wedding plans unravel when Michael's drunken mother causes trouble. What begins as a simple ceremony spirals into a chaotic confrontation that tests everyone's patience and principles.
