"The Well of the Saints" is a three-act play written by J. M. Synge and first
performed in 1905. The story is set in a lonely mountainous district in
Ireland, several centuries ago. The main characters include Martin and Mary
Doul, elderly blind beggars who are deceived by the townsfolk into thinking
they are beautiful. A saint cures their blindness, but they are repulsed by
each other's appearance. Martin tries to seduce Molly, the fiancee of a
blacksmith named Timmy, but she rejects him. Martin and Mary lose their sight
again, and when the saint returns to marry Timmy and Molly, Martin refuses his
offer to cure their blindness. The townsfolk banish the couple, and they set
off in search of kinder neighbors. The play explores themes of deception,
appearance versus reality, and the consequences of seeking physical beauty.
